A brilliant and immersive experience. The whole thing is akin to dipping a toe into another world. There's something richly unnerving about Chris Alexander's return to rundown motels in which to house his horror: abandoned and lonely places, and no-one knows what goes on inside.
I loved especially the use of colour and lighting in this, his latest film. At times, hallucinogenic and at others, strangely calming; the red hair echoing the red chair, bringing the room to life, for example; the black silhouette in the corner, itself a shadow cast.
By contrast, the coldness of winter sun provides reason to escape the outside, and the soundtrack is, as always swirling, tumbling and wonderful, adding much to the sense of delirium.
Marrielle Edwards is great as the title character - and rarely for these types of films, she even has some dialogue; only a minimal amount, of course. And why not? This is a world removed from everything, which exists side by side with society, a fun fair ... but no one is aware of it. Just us!
This is what horror should be, if it can even be defined at all. Here's to many more of Chris's fascinatingly macabre projects.
