No Reasons (2016)
9/10
Better than Death Walks
19 March 2021
Having watched Death Walks, then reading articles online I saw that director Spencer Hawken had created this, which he stated lived in the same universe. So I was intrigued to figure out what and how. This is not a spolier but you need to look at the last two minutes of Death Walks and the middle of the end credits of No Reasons to see the connection, thee is something really quite dark forming here that i have no idea where its going.

No Reasons which seems to have been made a bit after Death Walks is a much better more solid, better acted, better written and shot movie. It starts as a fairly inoculous drama and then progresses into something really, really horrible. And while we know these things happen we dont want to know they happen. Yet at the same time this leads to a truly soul destroying viewing experience, its not a bad movie, not by any means. But you soon discover that there are very few people to care about, each nice character turns out to be horrible. A great list of actual celebrity names rather than dodgy gangsters and reality tat these low budget Brit movies always seem to have, this is very strong pedigree, Daniel Peacock, Roland Manookian, Lorraine Stanley, Vicki Michelle and new discovery Elisha Applebaum from Netflix's popular Winx Saga.

Watch this movie, but if your longing for happy endings steer clear, this is as shocking as a Serbian Film and as calculating as Hostel.
