    Maddening...

    An enjoyable paranoid Thriller, where the acting seemed to vary a little throughout and ranged from really enjoyable to some slightly annoying moments.

    The plot is certainly what this film is all about and the build up toward the paranoia was dealt with fairly realistically, b...( read more)ut does have it?s flaws. The twist, I felt was a little predictable, which was a little disappointing and of course resulted in losing some marks for me when I was rating it.

    The slightly odd ending left me feeling I may have missed something, but looking at others' reviews I feel this was just one of those endings that was left this way for effect (?).

    This is certainly a film worthy of watching and I?m sure I?ve given it more negative comments than it actually deserves.

    Directed by: Ann Turner.
    Starring: Emily Blunt, Susan Sarandon, Sam Neill.

    Never had I heard of this film before last week, it just suddenly showed up in my video store and somehow it caught my eye, I read about it and saw it was an Australian film wi...( read more)th a very known universal cast so I thought I'd give it a go....and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.

    The film has this strange hitchcockian feel about it, where alot of it is kept in suspense and mystery and formula is played out up until the very surprising, very clever twist. The film does appear like its a TV film, the feel of it gives that impression and I guess because it was released straight to DVD, I am surprised how this slipped past theaters, it has so much more if you look past the TV movie feel, there is quite a bit of nicely built up and very slow suspense, it really does grip you, just as long as you survive the first 30 minutes and try and look past some flaws in parts during the first hour of the film. The sub-characters are all australian, with them all giving pretty mediocre performances, Susan Sarandon is actually about average here, but then again I have never really seen her as more, but Emily Blunt gives quite a subtle and chilling little performance, proving once again that she is the new face on the block, she is certainly going to go far.

    Overall, the film certainly came as a surprise, the film ultimately will be viewed as a Saturday night film because of it going straight to DVD, but underneath a few flaws and a strange TV movie look, there is a hitchcockian feel with slow suspense and a very well plotted and surprising twist ending. If you ever see this in video stores, I'd recommend you watch it.

    Im not a big Sarandon fan but this was a really well acted film. Well worth a watch.

    Brilliant, despite being a somewhat amateurish film. The cast is surprising for a small film shot in Melbourne (omg, trams!). The ending was a creepy surprise
