STOIC - It seems indisputable that Uwe Boll has made some rubbish films in his time, but he's also directed a handful of at least interesting ones ('Rampage', the ridiculously grim 'Seed'). This is probably the best I've seen of his so far. Based on fact, it explores a case of fatal group dynamics which leads a trio of cons to humiliate and eventually murder their cell mate. I thought it was utterly terrifying in places and, despite having sat through some really repulsive films over the years, still found it a difficult watch overall. The tone never veers from being really depressing, and the atmosphere is as claustrophobic as you would expect from a film set purely in two spaces (one being a cell, the other an interrogation room) whilst the approach seems pitched ambiguously between exploitation and clinical investigation, this being in itself just cause for viewer discomfort given the subject matter. The performances (ie from the likes of Edward Furlong) are all at least believable, which obviously makes a difference.

It was a great call-out Frankie, I never seem to stumble across these movies - I certainly have never seen a Uwe Boll film, but this one sounds a world apart from the usual stuff I hear he does...

Yeah, The Intruder is an incredible film. I remember reading about this in Corman's autobiography and he recalls what a dangerous shoot the film was, had it been discovered the film had an anti-racist message. This used to screen on Irish TV years ago as I Hate Your Guts! a less delicate title to be sure but effective nonetheless...
