Search: Starring Michael McElhatton

A light but cleverly constructed fantasy which fans of traditional drawing room whodunnits will love.

This is chiefly a character study of one man's humanity in the face of grief but it echoes the wider trauma of a nation that was decimated by hunger.

Øvredal takes a handful of old tricks - a cheery song playing unexpectedly, lights blinking out in a corridor one by one, the tinkling of a bell - and uses them to chilling effect. The result is a film you really won't want to watch alone.

Despite trying a little too hard to be cool and edgy, this is nevertheless an entertaining thriller with a decent twist.

There’s plenty of the pre-requisite tension, and the monsters are designed well and deployed with restraint.

A stylish and heartwarming tale of triumph against adversity that is somewhat undermined by its predictable story and lack of guts in its final third.

It might not always hit the mark, with its complicated plotline sometimes descending into hopeless farce, but there's real heart here and characters who are easy to feel for.

The delivery of the script is highly polished from a large ensemble cast with CVs running off the page.

Everyone involved here has done better elsewhere.

The film has an intensity that creates its own tension.

Marsh takes no prisoners, makes no apologies and kicks you when you're down, all of which makes his films dangerous, inifinitely watchable and almost unbearably surprising.
