Yes, remote Scottish weirdness is the name of the game here, and it's thoroughly good fun, even when it gets very scary indeed. There's a grainy grey-back tone to the digital video imagery that makes it feel even more creepy, and Mackenzie uses clever direction to keep us on the brink. He also keeps the humour flowing--natural real life comedy combined with moments of inspired absurdity that frame the scary and serious moments. And yes, there are serious moments, as well as a real sense of catharsis and emotion at the end (which is a bit corny, but never mind). The cast is excellent, performing Dogme-style with a raw authenticity that makes even the goofiest characters come to life. We've got the shady innkeeper (Hayman), the gun-toting groundsman (Stewart), the paranoid blonde (Smurfit), the raging nympho (Irwin), the sex-obsessed ex-priest (Comerford), the agoraphobe (Kiernan) and so on--definite types, but all have surprises in store. This is ingenious filmmaking with an especially strong script and a real attempt to make something interesting out of the rural thriller genre.
