This is the second of my film blogs following on from my original (filmfantastique.blogspot.com) which was shut down recently. My blog is a way to record films I see so that I can double check later on. Normally with horror films I watch them and then immediately forget what they are called! I watch all kinds of films, from classic, world cinema, thrillers and anime. Very rarely does a day pass without me seeing a film of some sort! All comments and film discussion welcome. Enjoy my ranting!

Cry of the Owl - 2009 ****
Surprisingly exciting thriller about a depressed and heartbroken man named Robert who retreats to the countryside for peace and quiet after his divorce from his manipulative and nasty wife and becomes enthralled by his attractive neighbour Jenny, whom he begins to spy on. After a while, the pair begin an acquaintance and the woman hopes for a relationship, despite the rocky situation with her psychotic ex-boyfriend. Gentle and unassuming, Jenny displays no malicious intent, and so Robert feels temporarily happy and secure, but all is about to change.
I had never heard of this film, and as with so many, it's the underrated gems that you stumble upon which really surprise you and come out trumps.
