Scottish Deliverance


A Lonely Place to Die (2011)

Directed and co-written by Julian Gilbey this film stars Melissa George, Ed Speleers and Eammon Walker. Five friends go climbing in the Scottish Highlands, they discover a young girl buried alive and things take a turn for the worse.

It is hard not to see some hints of Deliverance (1972) creeping into the early portions of this film but this is more of a straight forward thriller rather than a film about modern man and his relationship with nature. There are some great helicopter shots in the first part of the film that really show off the amazing landscape of Scotland. When we get down to business this is pretty much a run of the mill thriller that serves it's purpose but little more.

3/5
