Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #2
Started this morning with my first Latvian film ever. I never even heard of this country. A new discovery. Another reason to love Fantastic Fest. This movie is a home invasion/paranoia thriller.
It's got the revenge plot but the revenge takes place within the first 10 minutes. After that, we follow our main character who took vengeance on his former boss. He takes over his big mansion. Things get weird. I enjoyed the first half. The second half didn't deliver. It was promising. I did enjoy certain moments like when our character was in a fancy restaurant eating meals he never had before. This felt a bit like The Shining in certain moments.

This movie was only 70 minutes. For a home invasion flick, this was okay.
