10/04/14 Shutter (2004)

Starts off pretty well, but goes a bit boring. Some genuinely spooky moments before it plays out though.

More important than any of that though, is the fact that the co-director has the brilliant name of Parkpoom Wongpoom. Playing Scrabble in Thailand must be great. Or possibly a right bastard.

01/05/12 Jetsam (2007)

Mini budget Brit-thriller about a woman who washes up on the Kent coast then wakes up and can't remember who she is. She has a fight with a guy who's also washed up on the beach, then ambles off towards an abandoned church up a hill. During the walk to the church, she has a one hour double flashback that explains what the rogering flip is going on. Mostly.

Although the fractured narrative is wobbly, it all mostly makes sense by the end, and for a film that cost only £3000 it is compelling, well shot and finely acted.

This was filmed about forty miles from where I'm typing this, yet we had to buy a copy from the Thailand as it seems to be the only place in the world where it's been released on DVD.

7.5/10
