suspenseful

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2017)

James Mcavoy is brilliant. One of my favourite actors and this film allows him plenty of scope to display his talent. He is creepy, at times engaging, sometimes comic but always compellingly watchable.
The story is highly improbable as most horror movies are,but masterfully plotted and directed,its a heart in your throat experience almost s until the end. This is not a movie to watch alone on a dark night.
The three female victims are young nubile and spend most of the movie running around in their underwear crying panting and displaying all the usual attributes of terrified teens.
The wise middle aged psychologist is sweet and motherly and adds a nice contrast to the beastly main character. The musical score really adds to the suspense, as does the play of light and dark.
This is a creepy movie.
The ending is ambiguous leaving the way open for a sequel perhaps? I thoroughly enjoyed it.
