Outcast (2010)
Directed by Colm
McCarthy this low budget film stars Niall Burton, James Nesbitt and
Katie Dickie. A mother and son move onto a council estate in Scotland
while being hunted down by two men.
With low budget horror
films the key is always the script and implying what you can't afford
to show, here unfortunately when the monster of the piece is finally
revealed it really highlights that this is a low budget film. What
the film has in it's favour is a good cast and some decent
performances but the script could have done with another draft as the
central romance in particular is a little thin on the ground. There
are some creepy elements but never enough to sustain the film or make
up for the poor monster at the end.
2/5
