Zebra Girl

Great film. Read previous reviews and was sceptical.

Didn't expect to like it as much as I did but the hour 20 went quick enough.

The acting was solid, the Catherines were perfectly cast and Dan was as you'd expect - could have done with a bit more ruthlessness though.

Would definitely recommend for a bit of a difference.

I thought this film was excellent. The way it approaches such serious mental health issues is very clever and the humorous side of things really helps strike a balance. Also really liked the soundtrack. Would definitely recommend!

4/10.

The description of the film has nothing to do with the plot itself, which is very boring, undeveloped and shallow. Everything could have been predicted immediately, and the acting was not the best either.

This effectively disturbing horror film is not for the faint of heart (there's a scene involving flesh and a saw that's among the most unsetting things I've seen in recent memory). But if you're up for it, the film offers a very interesting exploration of trauma.

Like all the best genre films, "Zebra Girl" is both specific an universal. The basic set up (the aftermath of a murder) is a gateway to an exploration of childhood abuse and how the protagonist processes it.

The film is definitely scary, but it's most significant achievement might be that it understands how trauma makes you see enemies everywhere (even behind the eyes of people who care about you).

Again, unsettling stuff. But if you're a fan of the genre and enjoy a good provocation, prepare for a potent viewing experience.

This film is great. As a lover of interesting and dark thrillers I enjoyed this film immensely. I particularly liked the way this film differs to the run of the mill, predictable, mainstream thrillers by almost starting at what would be the end for many films of the genre and working back through the characters' motivations. It's a super stylish film with a brilliantly dark script. Watch this if you want to watch a great film that keeps you guessing all the way through and doesn't conform to boring stereotypes!!!
