The Seasoning House
(2012)
Directed by Paul Hyett
this film stars Rosie Day, Kevin Howarth, Sean Pertwee and Dominique
Provost-Chalkley. During the Balkans war a young girl is made to work
in a brothel drugging other girls who are forced to work as
prostitutes.
There are some deeply
dark elements to this film and it depicts some harrowing events
mostly of sexual violence, plenty of times the film is unsettling as
well as keeping you on the edge of your seat. Where the plot falls
down is the plot is fairly empty, failing to tie into the larger
prejudices behind the war or the specific problems in the area in
which it is set. It is the direction that helps this film stand out
maintaining a great atmosphere despite not having the greatest script
to work with.
4/5
