There's no place like home ... - Estranged review by NP
An accident robs January (Amy Manson) of her senses, and she and her boyfriend Callum (Simon Quarterman) travel to January's family home, which turns out to be a very bad decision indeed ...
Director Adam Levins plays with audience expectations and the dark teases scattered over initial scenes become less subtle and deadlier as the story rolls on. James Cosmo is excellent as the towering Albert. Repressed Katherine (Nora-Jane Noone), sneaky sniggering brother Laurence (James Lance) and mother Marilyn (Eileen Nicholas) complete the family ensemble, and a brutal, deadly mixture they are. The butler Thomas (Craig Conway) may be the only sympathetic character involved, and we're not sure we can trust even him ...
A highly recommended, extremely dark film ...
