Knock Knock
A new slightly odd Thriller from M.Night Shyamalan.
A good cast and one that keeps you guessing for a while. Ultimately though the ending wasn't in the usual formula for his films. It felt a bit flat without the usual big shock reveal. Ok for a watch but nothing exciting.

Oh dear
A very dry, dead pan black comedy indie film. I thought it was going to be a thriller. Despite the cast this falls very flat. It's very predictable and not funny. The dialogue came across as if everyone was pretending to be a robot for some reason? One to skip.

Well, that was different.

Pretty much a John Wickham revenge thriller, with Bob Odenkirk a husband who initially does nothing when his house is invaded ... before it becomes clear that he very very easily could have done.

Yes, he has 'a very specific set of skills'.

That's another influence on this film, or so it seems.

An ok remake of a film from 1970 with the same name. This one is set in Argentina, which seems to be the only real change. The fact I not heard of it and it was made last year and stars the lovely Amber Heard was a worry. Sure enough this is largely a fairly slow, dull, drama/thriller about the perils of being off the beaten track if you're not careful. The last 3rd of the film was ok as we finally get some action, but it has a made for TV feel to it. There have been many better horror films on a similar theme with Turistas and Hostel, Train. For a thriller I would go with either Hush or Shuttle. Even Amber Heard fans might find this too slow.
