King Of The Ants

Written by Charlie Higson (of Fast Show fame) and directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-animator). This starts out quite poorly, with bad cinematography, a dubious script and even more dubious acting. It concerns an everyday joe who is pulled into a scheme to kill someone, for which he is then ripped off for. The film then takes a turn into a psychological thriller, and really becomes gripping AND well played. This leaves me to believe that the opening twenty minutes is intentional, to enforce the banality of his situation. Not to everyones tastes, and there is some surreal horror and extreme violence too, but an unusual and gripping film.

Matious-recent British film:RED ROAD.
