[Highly rated reviewer]
superb
this is a superb, dark and disturbing british horror movie, which is both erotic and barbaric in equal measure. the film stars Gillian Anderson as Alice ( Scully in the X files), and Danny Dyer as Adam (Outlaw and Human Traffic).
Alice and Adam are a couple returning from an exhilarating night of partying and choreographed debauchery in a lavish country house.
they speed down a wooded and desolate road, that catapults them both into a fateful collision, and a brutal and unprovoked attack, which leaves them both emotionally and physically scarred.
An attack that fuels their mission for revenge. they want their act of revenge to fit the crime, but everyone has a breaking point, and they find out that revenge is never that simple.
The term 'Straighthead' is used by gang members, to describe someone, that has never become involved in crime.
well worth watching. -
