Review of Isolation (2005) by Leo K — 25 Aug 2009

Great horror film. Genuinely unpleasant to the point of absurdity, we have guts, cow innards, giant mutant killer cow-prawns...what more do you want. This film is grubby, really grubby. At one point the farmer has to wade through the neck-high sewage before being pulled under, you'll need to have a shower after watching it.

There's mud, dirt, filth, gore and it's all delivered in an excellent low-fi but not low budget way that makes the film a really enjoyable atmospheric watch, and despite the plot reading like another Black Sheep this is far from comedy even though the song at the end of the film could be read that way.

It's claustrophobic, nasty and really really awesome. More power to the Film Four!!!
