Poignant but slow
This is rather a depressing account about how families and communities attempt to deal with the case of a missing person. In this instance it is about how society moves on with their lives leaving behind the families to deal with it. it is well written with beautiful descriptions but it tends to be quite a slow burner.

Looks great
A spectacle
Nope is a film that is more like an experience, a very different, quirky type of film. It is a bit of a slow burner for the first half. Definitely made up for it in the second half. It has a good cast and the cinematography is great. A weird and enjoyable film.

Dark, intense, dramatic. A career defining performance by Joaquin Phoenix. A tourdeforce script with dynamic direction. A skilled cast keep your eyes glued to the screen. Great! (1 more)
It's a slow burner, but even during those 'look away' moments - you can't!! It sets up Joker's origin story perfectly.
No Joke!

A decent slow burner
For a fairly short film, 1hr 40mins, it's incredibly slow paced. It feels like a much longer film and could easily have a good 20mins cut from it. Apart from that it's a pretty decent thriller. The trailers are a little misleading, there is little Horror here. The story is good with an ending few will see coming.

Missed opportunity
A slow burner of a horror which is more psychological creepy than really scary. It's very subtle with the scares which come about more from the atmosphere created. Unfortunately the ending felt rushed and fell flat. Also a couple of things just didn't fit in how the characters would act in certain situations.
Overall not bad, but after a slow good build up it falls apart a little at the end.

Not having read any of Mary Burtons books before [where have I been living!!!!], I didnt know what to expect but the description sounded like something I would enjoy and I did.

A very slow burner
I'm a big fan of Poirot and whodunit mysteries in general. So I was looking forward to this considering the cast. Unfortunately at 3 episodes it feels a little bit too long and drawn out. It's still interesting enough for fans but others might find it a bit ponderous.

Decent Horror
A slow burner but enjoyable creature, myth Horror. In a remote rundown town in Oregon a strange creature appears to be attacking local residents. It's very nicely shot and the locations add to the feel of the film. Quite a grim, run down, poor town that has long seen better days. Combined with large areas of remote woodland and mountains adding to the isolated feel. The main story takes the form of an old folk tale about a spirit taking the form of an animal and needing to feed.
The creature effects are good along with the gory makeup effects are both good. If you after a slow burner, errie horror that's a bit different to the norm check this out.
