The Nest

Sean Durkin’s sophomore feature The Nest wore me down.

The Nest sets the scene but it doesn't go anywhere.

Durkin's film brilliantly exposes the vacuous world of a would-be ultra-capitalist.

Stick with this crafty little creeper. "The Nest" is compelling and thoroughly unsettling.

Relies on anxiety and attempting to unsettle those watching.

The Nest is an intriguing and unnerving film and also a slightly frustrating one

The Nest is something unique: original and absolutely scary. This is thanks to the brilliant screenplay, captivating cinematography, strong direction, and excellent acting.

There's enough here to delight fans of high concept horror with particular detail in a scene which reveals one of the little bugs in all its glory.

The ending delivers some impressively gross Cronenbergian body horror, but it's a plodding, monotonous journey to get there.

Very effective tension, with a long slow creep up to a truly chilling ending.
