Two brothers return to the hometown they left eight years earlier, to find it still run by the same game of small-time drug dealers and petty thugs. Their purpose, it soon becomes clear, is not reunion, but revenge - a quest of particular significance for Richard (Paddy Considine), the leader of the two, whose obsessive desire to even the score will lead them into dangerous territory.

Dead Man's Shoes review by Luke

I ordered Dead Man's Shoes with apprehension, although I hold a lot of faith in home-grown horror, there's always the chance that it's going to be a case of gore over plot.
Thank goodness, then, that Dead Man's Shoes delivers heavily with the plot - more than a simple revenge plot, Richard's struggle to come to terms with what has happened to his brother (Anthony) is voiced perfectly in the juxtaposed scenes of rural tranquility and surreal, nerve-shredding terror. What's more, it isn't a jump-based horror, the cinematography never sets us up for a scare, but instead leaves us feeling oddly detatched from the carnage.
If you want blood and guts, go elsewhere, if you want sudden jolts, keep looking. But it you want an intelligent, heartfelt and compelling film that'll also leave you sleeping with the lights on, look no further.
Sit back, relax and lock the door.
