Best movie of this year hands down!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie has the same rating as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. This is completely unfair - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is way better than this. So bad I will not watch a British movie ever again.

Beginning in bleak surrounds, and caught in a situation that only gets bleaker, this has similarities with the excellent 'A Field in England (2013)', except roundheads are substituted for soldiers. Whereas that film featured the talents of Julian Barrett, this features Tom Meeten (as Evans), both having starred in the mighty 'The Mighty Boosh (TV Series, 2005-2007)'.Whilst the lads are either losing their temper, their sanity or the contents of their stomach, Karlsson (Deidre Mullins) remains calm and collected. As events escalate, the squad, and Annabella (April Pearson) take refuge in an abandoned tank.This is written and directed by Nick Gillespie (who appears briefly towards the end) and executively produced by Ben Wheatley. Wheatley in particular is a name I look out for, having proved to be a very interesting name in cinema.Horror takes many forms – gore, 'torture porn', exploitation, spectacular, intimate, comedy. I really like this kind of claustrophobic, slow-burning, atmospheric horror. This kind of style, when done this well, is a favourite way of telling a story. It's a delicate balance; too slow in its telling and the interest wanders (which almost happens a couple of times). Luckily here, we have a small cast who are uniformly excellent. And the addition of an unspecific, ghost-faced, shrieking figure plaguing them adds just the right hint of creepy intrigue.The ending is as strange as the story itself, leaving itself open for interpretation.

It could be a headline from The Sun newspaper, or role play in a fetish club. Unfortunately, it is this movie, and not much else.I gave it three stars for the acting - which is quite good - and the tech aspects, which are OK. You may think this film is around 88 minutes long but by the time you finish watching it will seem like several very, very long tedious hours, where your time could be better spent poking your eyes with a sharp stick to see (get it?) what happens.Nope - not one on my memorable films list and and it would be more entertaining videoing your toilet flushing with your camera phone.

Spoiler alertWell it's just bad writing. No premise, no character backstory so you don't relate to anyone and can't connect with the story. A bunch of blank slate characters going mad over some Cheetos Dust and a cliché "Reveal all at the last minute" strategy.I watched the whole movie just for the tank inside design... not much else is enjoyable. The bull taunting scene was pretty cringe to look at.
