Covering paedophilia and gay prostitution, at times very graphically, its pretty dark and uncomfortable to watch. But brilliantly acted, and very sensitively directed, this film is really worth watching - but maybe not with your mum. Very harrowing but also very beautiful.. a definite 8/10.
I also watched The Mist. At first I thought this might be a sequel to 1980 film The Fog , but its not.
Based on the novel by Stephen King, Thomas Jane stars in the film - when a freak storm unleashes a species of blood-thirsty creatures on a small town, a small band of citizens hole-up in a supermarket and fight for their lives. I thought it was brillliantly done and in the same kind of ilk as the remake of Dawn of the Dead (though with not as much money put into it) which I also loved. Unusually dark and gritty, with ace B-movie writing and direction from Darabont and a collection of full-on performances from a great cast - definitely one to watch. The ending is fantastic.I like the crazy preacher bitch the best.
Also 8/10/
