Edgy Australian horror-thriller set within an inner city storage facility. When 17 year-old Jimmy begins to work at a storage facility, it seems to have that nearly every customer has something to hide. But when he sees evidence being hidden inside a red drum, Jimmy soon finds that when you start down a dark road, it s impossible to turn back. A very atmospheric movie and setting that evokes the claustrophobic fear of The Descent and reminds of Freddy Krueger s famed Boiler Room in Nightmare on Elm Street.
Another Australian winner.
Australia seem to be consistently getting it right with their recent forays into the thriller / horror genre. This is an intelligent film with well crafted acting and superb dialogue: the twists and turns of the plot draw you right in and any attempts to second guess the plot are thwarted. At the heart of the success of this film is the location: the underground storage unit facility, isolated and repetitive is the perfect foil for the tension generated and sustained throughout. Matthew Scully as 17yr old Jimmy handles a complex role skilfully and convincingly throughout. A great film which does not rely on explicit gore for thrills as much of the horror/thriller genre seems to these days, but unstead offers something significantly more substantial and satisfying. Highly recommended for fans of what I term 'social horror' - horror set in the world we live in where the thing we have to fear most is our neighbour. Brilliant.
