The Devil’s Rock - 2011 - 6/10
[Image: dd1hu8.jpg]
World War II, just before D-Day, two New Zealand commandos kayak to Forau, in the Channel Islands, to take out Nazi gun emplacements.
They hear female wailing and whimpering, and drop the mission to investigate.
After tiptoeing through endless corridors, they encounter blood splattered walls, gory entrails, slain German soldiers.
Naturally, they proceed. After all, some damsel needs rescuing.
Pocket thriller that, despite low budget, looks fine. Solid acting by all, as well.
Film is of two halves, however.
First part, clues lead to mystery, tension approaches dread.
Second part was stagey. Seriously, it felt like an off-Broadway or outer London play. Lot of dialogue.
Cerebral rather than gut piercing. Still, a nice little flick, especially for indie buffs.
