Review of Heartless (2010) by Arianeta L — 28 Sep 2010
And here it is ..... a really great twisted horror thriller. Philip Ridley after years brings us a new style of horror. Mesmerizing and twisted, Heartless tries to appeal to our deepest senses - fear simply being one of them - by means of psychology.
The "monster" in this so called horror drama, is not a monster at all but an inner pattern of what makes us humans; of what our feelings may turn us into. I believe that the film is underrated because the point of view that should have been used to look at this movie was not from the outside of the box but from the inside.
The performances were pretty good especially from Joseph Mawle and of course Jim Sturgess who proves once again that he is a British star on a dark sky. I also can say this film absolutely blew me away because the story is unique and engaging, the cinematography artistically stunning, the effects dramatically appropriate for the dark subject matter, and it has a wonderful soundtrack that allows us to hear Jim's beautiful voice again throughout.
