And Soon the Darkness
I found this quite engaging for the first half at least. I’m always attracted to thrillers featuring tourists stuck in an unfamiliar environment. After the one hour mark or so though, my interest began to wander. The lack of any significant action for a long stretch of running time, as the girl searches for her missing friend, I found quite tiresome. Picked up a bit for the climax, but not a film I’d come back to in a hurry.
Schizo
I love a bit of Pete Walker, but I definitely found this to be one of his lesser efforts. The story I found quite dull, and I missed the lack of a juicy villain character like Sheila Keith or Anthony Sharp. Lame scares and extremely dodgy psychology added some comedy value at least, there’s always something to enjoy in his films!
