Review of Isolation (2005) by Timothy N — 30 Apr 2017

While this had the potential to be early Cronenberg creepy, unfortunately it fails in areas where Cronenberg would have excelled. O'Brien's plodding and emotionless directing with little attention to the 5 main performers leaves one feeling that it was a pretty cool idea on paper (albeit with a nod to a multitude of titles from Alien to The Brood), that lacked the fervour of a director with vision.

Disappointing at best; boring for most. However, as a fan of contemporary Irish film attempting to do something edgier, I would at least encourage the genre to be explored more by Irish film-makers.
