 3.5/4 |
A political thriller in the sense that it's bound to polarize audiences... Full Review |
||
 2/5 |
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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Stylishly shot, this tense Spanish thriller sees the couple lost in a mountain wilderness while being hunted by an unseen sniper. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
It's at its best in a tense middle section that plays as a pared-down existential nightmare. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
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. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
3/6 |
As a work of hard-driving tension, this is satisfyingly terse, methodical and relentless. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
In this solidly crafted, well performed thriller, humanity gets lost in the deep, dark woods. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
From Spain comes a leaner, bleaker horror film. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
With Paul Greengrass’ eye for documentary-like realism Lopez-Gallego keeps the action close to the ground and physical. Full Review |
||
|
|
Is more disturbing and more intelligent than Friday the 13th. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
King of the Hill targets our fear of someone having us in their sights. Full Review |
