*The Machinist's SPOILERS*
Trevor Reznik (Christian Bale, 'Laurel Canyon', 'Batman Begins'), a young blue-collar worker, hasn't slept in a year.
His only friends are the prostitute Stevie (Jennifer Jason Leigh, 'Single White Female', 'The Hitcher') and the waitress Marie (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon).
On the job, he inadvertently causes the loss of an arm to a colleague, Miller (Michael Ironside) because of a new worker, Ian (John Sharian), and when he is told that the man does not exist, he begins to think that everybody around him is part of a conspiracy to drive him mad.
But the truth is really different...
From the director of 'Session 9' and the writer of 'The Amityville Horror' remake comes an intense and very scary story, which also benefits from actors (especially Bale, who manages to give yet another flawless performance.
If you want to be scared, don't miss this! The Machinist: 9/10.
