Replaceable Cheese Wire

Deadline


At the outset we know Alice. As a bundle of nerves she is at the window of her apartment - they packaged flees, apparently from something or someone. A friend, Rebecca helps her there and then it goes to an old mansion in the woods. Concerned is from Rebecca Alice asks her if she had enough food, whether the car they do not yet need. Alice denies by saying that she needed rest, because she had already passed the deadline. She is a filmmaker. Rebecca leaves Alice with queasy feeling. This then begins to explore the house, and pushes while a box of video tapes, which, although initially showing only a couple in love, have to tell a grim story ...

is particularly positive that I still work as a director in memory. Sean McConville, who here delivers his directorial debut, knows how to produce a thick, creepy atmosphere. He skillfully gives the impression that someone is creeping around Alice. This leaves one more than once a chill down your spine and keeps the creeps.

commend you may mention also the film music that is atmospheric, without being obtrusive. In fact it is rather used extremely sparingly, what the underscores gloomy atmosphere even further.

The cast is there really nothing to say except that they have done a great job. Especially Brittany Murphy embodies the paranoid, frightened, yet curious and equally tough as fragile Alice, as if their role had been written on the body. Thora Birch (known from "The Hole") and Marc Blucas shine (mainly known from "Buffy") but also in this otherwise pitch-black thriller.

"Deadline" is a smartly-designed ghost thriller, but can not come up with too unexpected turns - to the DVD shelf of friends of the clean, atmospheric horror but he heard all.

4.5 / 5 points


Rest in peace, Brittany (born November 10, 1977 - † 20 December 2009).
