Fascinating and thought provoking

'This film was unique and thought provoking. It stepped outside of the box of conventional films and created a fascinating narrative which left the audience deciding on the motivations of its characters. It created an atmosphere of intentional ambiguity which made it all the more powerful.The characters were well developed and the film was well paced. I liked the casting and the ominous mood that the film created. So many films nowadays stick to a standard formula and you get the sense you have seen it all before but not this film.I think if you are looking for an alternative to main stream cinema this film is for you. It is a different experience that may surprise you. These types of films often do not get the credit they deserve. It was well worth me going out of my comfort zone as I often see traditional mainstream films. I am glad that I decided to watch this film.

THE CELLAR

THE CELLAR.Directed by Jamie Langlands, THE CELLAR doesn't mess about and immediately throws us into its underlying mystery, which kind of reminded me of 2008's MARTYRS and SAW 2004, as we're wondering where and why our victims are being held captive. What impressed me straight away was the cinematography, colour lighting and very tense looking close up angle shots.Considering its very low budget production, everything was filmed very crisply and the cast performances had me locked in straightaway, especially @megan_adara as Abigail. Although her character is mostly muted throughout the whole film, she puts in a great character performance that had me feeling tense with suspense but invested with her journey and what was going on, which made it more emotionally impactful when she finally did speak.THE CELLAR is a nice slow moving story that asks for your patience; it may look cheap compared to your usual big budget Hollywood films, but the suspense had the same feeling as films you'd associate with say Alfred Hitchcock. There's a moment in the film that suddenly clicked for me, which I won't go into for spoilers but, as someone who's had to battle with my own demons, it really resonated. The puzzle starts to piece together, whilst maintaining its ambiguity, leaving room for different perspectives.Overall I was fully pleased with how the story was structured, and every actor did a great job which included minimal roles but solid performances from everyone involved.Reviewed by Andy Beglin (Beast on the horror express)
