Not bad

Based on the Sharoin Taste murder by the Mansion family in the late sixties, this movie was pretty good. The acting was well done and the cinematography,while looking like it was made in the eighties(intentionally I think), was decent. If you know your history you'll already know the storyline. They played it out at a good pace and kept it intense. The beginning scene wasn't really necessary but it is what it is. The movie felt kind of like you were watching "The Strangers', with no real sense to the violence, but again, if you know your history you know that was the case with this story at the time. Entertaining enough, this one is worth a watch.

Great cast (0 more)

Not as much humour as I was expecting (1 more)

Craig's accent at times

Fun whodunit?

A fun quirky Whodunit? with a big cast and dash of humour, along with some red herrings. Make this an enjoyable film for those who like a murder mystery.
It was a little light on the humour side overall, so not as much of a comedy as I thought it would be. As for the Whodunit side of things the family members all have their motives but from quite early on there isn't a great deal of mystery in the plot. It finishes strongly thankfully with a typical drawing room summing up.
Overall a fun film for fans of the genre without really testing the grey cells of many sleuth viewers.

Guess how i spent my day. Looking at trailers for films that have been submitted to my film festival. Over 80 films submitted arranging from 59mins to 130mins long with trailers.
If you are a film maker please asking me about trailers to films. You would be surprise how many people dont know what should be in a trailer. I have not even start to go threw ones without trailers. Also if you submit to Festivals follow their rules. I love rejecting films getting a email asking why. Sorry for the rant. This is Festival is family friendly and i got entries about porn business, about murder, horror flicks and more stuff i would not show to my kids or other kids.

Gripping from the start

This Ed James book has a very different feel to his usual murder mysteries. From the first page the reader is trying to piece together scant clues about the links between apparently distinct kidnappings as tortured and bewildered victims turn up. The combined efforts of DS Corcoran and Dr Marie Palmer, a criminal psychologist, are needed in order to work out what may have driven someone to kidnap and torture people in different ways.
The pacing of the book is superb as the reader is barely given a moment to catch their breathe before the next twist to the story, or revelation. Some good characters and interesting back stories come together for a truly gripping page-turner.
