A political thriller in the sense that it's bound to polarize audiences...

The revelation of the shooter’s identity, however, is a bit of a yawn, especially if you have seen the 2006 French film Them or last year’s British horror movie Eden Lake.

It starts off well enough as Deliverance and Duel but becomes very conventional when, two-thirds of the way through, the snipers are revealed and it turns into what might be called Haneke-panky.

Stylishly shot, this tense Spanish thriller sees the couple lost in a mountain wilderness while being hunted by an unseen sniper.

It's at its best in a tense middle section that plays as a pared-down existential nightmare.

The tautness of the first hour is tremendous, and features something I never thought to see in such a movie: the spectacle of a man, hiding inside a car from his would-be killer, and doing something we would all probably do in real life: actually whimper.

Engaging, well made horror that gets a decent amount of tension out of its simple premise, even if it's not quite as shocking and provocative as it thinks it is.

As a work of hard-driving tension, this is satisfyingly terse, methodical and relentless.

In this solidly crafted, well performed thriller, humanity gets lost in the deep, dark woods.

From Spain comes a leaner, bleaker horror film.

With Paul Greengrass’ eye for documentary-like realism Lopez-Gallego keeps the action close to the ground and physical.

Is more disturbing and more intelligent than Friday the 13th.

King of the Hill targets our fear of someone having us in their sights.
