A Lonely Place To Die (2011)

Nice little British Horror/Thriller that tells the tale of 5 rock climbers in Scotland stumbling across a small Serbian girl buried in the wilderness. Realising she has been kidnapped the group realise they've stumbled into a delicate situation with the kidnappers soon chasing after the group. The film has a real UK festival feel to it and although the script and acting is pretty good the film drifts off alittle in the second half and becomes alittle stagnant. As new UK genre films go its not at all bad, but wont find itself in the 'classics of its time' pile.
6/10

Eyes Without A Face (1960)

Directed by Georges Franju this slick black & white french film tells a simple but haunting tale about a professor come surgeon who with the aid of his partner, kidnaps young girls in an attempt to remove their faces and graft them onto his own disfigured daughter's. Blaming himself for his daughters facial disfigurement the film touches on themes such as anguish, guilt, desperation and loneliness. The cinematography is wonderful, as are the costumes and mask of the young girl. The music's great too and overall has a genuinely haunting and creepy feel to it. A triumph of its age and well worth checking out.
