The Squad (2011)
Directed by Jaime
Osorio Marquez this film stars Juan David Restrepo, Andres Castaneda
and Mauricio Navas. A squad of soldiers in Colombia is sent to a
remote mountain base to find out why they have ceased making contact
with the outside world.
While this is a horror
film it would be best described as slow burning, eerie and paranoid
rather than out and out scary. I love the way the film uses so much
ambiguity that you never really are sure what is going on and the
claustrophobic location works really well. This may not be the
deepest or fastest paced horror film you will see but I found it to
be a good watch that really captures the psychological break down of
it's characters.
4/5
