Review of Removal (2010) by Deb K — 25 Feb 2012

Once in a while you stumble upon a film, which surprises in many levels. It's remarkably gripping, sophisticated and well-acted without taking itself too seriously. It certainly delivers the shivers with tense and the gorgeous Italian mansion, swooping camerawork and a surprisingly twisted and dark ending.

First time director Nick Simon delivers a tight direction, spooky in a Hitchcock manner.

Mark Kelly as Cole delivers a flammable and edgy character. Impeccable poker-faced Henry played by Oz Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins (Psycho) and reminds me of 80's icon Henry Silva, delivers an impressive performance. Billy Burke as Eric is his powerful, sensitive self. This is certainly worth your time, go rent or buy this.
