Return in Red

A well made,shot on film, rurally made, in the best sense, sci fi horror, conspiracy movie. It moves at a pace that makes the shocks when they come quite effective, though the slow build may at times be a bit tedious the pay off it worth it. The music and sound work are very important, there are good twists and a powerful directness to the ending. Sound especially! The themes of the movie obviously calls for good sound work. The pace is deliberate, seems like you can't escape from certain scenes and you know something bad is going to happen.

Has the feel of a film like "RABID." The locations and acting are totally convincing and really put you in the small town under a strange form of assault. Has the feel also of BREAKFAST AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE. Though this is not a gore fest.

Those who want everything explained will be left cold, but the film makes sense within it's own logic. The isolation feel of the movie is pretty powerful and this is creepy disturbing stuff. There is gore and it's well done but that's a small element to the film.

Very effective little movie, occasionally just a bit dullish in the middle, but worth a look for any serious fan of the genre, and some of it will linger with you long after it's over.
