Summary
A couple find themselves in a position that no parents ever want to be in.
So Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys are fantastic here, a lot of the film is the car journey to find where there troubled daughter has broken down in the woods, and much like with Locke a hell of a lot of the meat of the film comes from there conversations and facial acting during these tight scenes and scenes over the phone.
As the night begins to unfold and it turns out the daughter hit and kill someone and then with what follows the film takes a turn that you likely won’t expect but is not wholly unpleasant. As it veers off into the supernatural it oddly works within the world created by the film, though I would say that I think Irish folklore is beginning to become a bit tapped out at this point.
The ending of the film is quite bleak but also has a trippy component to it which leaves you asking questions at the end of the film as you pick your head back up off the floor.
Overall, well-acted and with a good supernatural twist.
4/5
Pros.
It is well acted
The horror works within the world
The end leaves open some intriguing questions
Genuine tension
Cons.
Irish folklore is becoming a bit overplayed
