John Lynch is brilliant as a struggling cattle farmer who faces an eco nightmare after volunteering his cattle herd to scientists to perform artificial insemination experiments on. What follows is an understated yet highly sustained experiment in slow burn terror as the film becomes a powerfully atmospheric exercise in musty rural decay as well as a terrifying and unrelenting horror film. The superbly realized gloopy gory FX belie the films low budget.
The sequence where Lynch ends up face down in a slurry pit after discovering a body just below the surface really sums this uncompromising movie up. |
I'll have to watch this again. Picked it up for about 3 quid last year off your recommendation Dem. To be honest i thought it a bit naff but it may have been the circumstances under which i was trying to watch it.
