Review preview for 44 Inch Chest

The idea of the bare room, the helpless prisoner and the group of aggressive men is profoundly Pinteresque. Unfortunately it has neither Pinter's wit nor his brevity.

The Cottage (2008)

Review preview for The Cottage

Taken as a straightforward comic horror movie, this feels too derivative and clichéd. Taken as homage or pastiche, it's not nearly funny, knowing or camp enough.

London hard-men discover business has bite, after the businessmen who offer to buy their nightclub turn out to be vampires.
Outlaw (2007)

Review preview for Outlaw

Love’s approach is consistently fresh and, until the end, when things fall apart a bit, surprisingly original. The writing here is taut, concise and as lean as a whippet.

The Raven (2012)

Review preview for The Raven
