Marianne (2011)
8/10
A slow-burning chiller
12 November 2011
Just caught this at the Leeds International Film Festival as part of their Day Of The Dead horror flick marathon. It's a slow-burning chiller about an errant father quite literally haunted by his past, but plays out as a closely observed family drama that flits through time unexpectedly, but never confusingly, to tell the whole story. It expertly balances the human drama with supernatural elements in a similar way to Let The Right One In, which lends a believability to the whole disturbing scenario. The performances are all spot on, especially Dylan M. Johannsson as the wide- eyed Stefan, and the cinematography is captivating.
