    Car-crash victim Colin Firth awakens from a coma to learn that his wife died in the same accident. The grieving and troubled man is befriended by a new neighbour (Mena Suvari), but his tenuous grip on reality is further threatened when he is questioned by the police about the murder of a pop diva. My Little Eye director Marc Evans's slow and confusing psychological thriller suffers from a fragmented screenplay that's overloaded with enigmatic dialogue, while the uncharacteristically pedestrian direction does little to obscure the “surprise” ending. On the plus side, Firth acts like it all actually matters, cleverly modulating his performance to support the film's premise, no matter how dense it becomes. Ultimately tiresome and timid, this is one genre jigsaw puzzle that's not worth solving.

  • A psychological thriller in which reality and fantasy merge until only confusion remains.

    Marc Evans: go to your room....

    ...and think about what you have done. My Little Eye was a truly inventive and fresh little film. This is pretty much the complete opposite in every conceivable way. Trauma opened with Colin Firth coming out of a Coma and continued until the (long overdue) end by driving me into one. Marc Evans is quite clearly capable of far greater things. I suggest he writes out 100 lines 'I will never Traumatise the audience again'. I may well be cured of my insomnia.

    Worse than pulling teeth

    Dreadful - worst film ever seen - why isn't there a nil star rating, 1 start is too much
