Matthew Holness directs Sean Harris, Alun Armstrong and Charlie Eales in this creepy British tale of a loner who returns home with something unspeakable in his bag.
The main character has baggage. Big fan of Darkplace and Sean Harris in general so happy this got made. Does feel like a short film stretched out interminably though. The atmosphere is right, the performances blank and bleak. The “monster” is a strong creation only glimpsed at. You just feel like you are eternally waiting around for the big reveal.
