Fear the Walking Dead: Mourning Cloak (2022)
Flimsy, pedestrian plots
This show has seriously deteriorated. Don't you find the dialogues strained? Characters turning their allegiance on a sixpence?
It feels like the writers are spinning development of characters who haven't been established long enough to really understand their motivations.
It also feels like the supposedly deeply malignant characters lack any kind of menace.
Things happen in this episode because the plot needs them to happen. Stalkers appear out of nowhere, conveniently, without any form of build up, as if ever present. Despite them being clad in cumbersome sacks and armour.
C'mon folks you can do better than this.
The Sleeping Room (2014)
Excellent fast-paced thriller
This is a masterpiece in independent film making. The Sleeping Room is exquisitely fast paced and takes viewers through a Hammer-style plot thickly laden with mystery. Set in Brighton, Blue is an escort who gets more than she bargains for when she arrives at the home of her client Bill who is doing up a house. Together they discover something in the house that sets the story from sleaze to screams! For those that like deep character development, you might be disappointed, but if you like a well written story with imaginative use of narrative and effects that frequently creeps you out, then this is for you. The use of sound is chilling. Great acting, and a brilliant example of directing by John Shackleton, despite this being his first feature film.
