M (2010)

Summary: An unknown man makes his way into a quiet neighborhood bringing nothing but torture and pain along side him. The police are on the hunt for someone with no identity, the only evidence of his existence is the mess he leaves behind. When he enters the home of Roy and Jessica, they have no idea what's in store for them. As the story unravels you find that there may be more motive behind the man's actions than either of them could ever imagine.           Overall: I enjoyed this low-budget indie film. It was a nice suspenseful film that had its share of torture as well. The key to the film was figuring out why this killer was at this couple’s home and slowly, painfully hurting them. Once you find out what the secret is, it still tended to work or the most part. If anything I was still a little suspect with the reaction our killer has taken given the events up to that time. But…it’s decent enough for believability and we can move on. I did feel it took a little long to get where the film needed to go since much of the action is just those 3 folks. And unlike other similar films, our killer isn’t looking to torture for info, it’s just to torture for past sins. But I really enjoyed the acting and the atmosphere of the masked killer. The lack of dialogue actually works quite well, especially since all the fear and tension is in the body movements.           Some good stuff here and can’t wait for more!           Comparison: Milo meets I Know What You Did Last Summer
