Another captivating Irish film!

This movie is another example of the fantastic cinema coming out of Ireland lately. Some people may find the subject matter distasteful, but the plot driven story and interesting characters really keeps your interest. The movie has sort of a film noir feel to it as what starts out as an accident becomes much more sinister. I certainly don't want to give any key plot points away lest IMDB tag this post with the "spoiler within" label. If you are worried the film is grusome because of the title, don't be. This is not a slasher film or some campy foray into the grotesque. This is a witty and faced paced story with some twists and turns. Far more intriguing than any horror or suspension tripe you will find in American cinema.

For other excellent Irish films check out "Goldfish Memory", "Cowboy Angels" and a host of others.

i expected something hipper, after coming across some fun irish flicks previously, but i guess they were older, and all the messy camera flashes made it difficult to watch, and that re accuring dark picture that comes with new thrillers.
the naughty fox looked way hotter in the dining room than when she walked in the store,
a bit too many difficult pussycats and half dry chicks for me to get hooked on.
pretty short flick, ended just after 80 min. of violence.
finlay!

traveling alone,
just me on this old road,
so long time,
noone here now but i,
once there was sun on this road,
where i'm now traveling alone,
the people i knew has gone,
don't know how it turned out like this,
wrestling with pain and misery,
dreaming back to a magic scenery,
until the night lights are on the streets,
under the stars traveling alone is me,
from early morning to late eve.

I thought it zig-zagged to an unexpected finish and was quite ztylish. I liked it. It lost the thread in the middle or I would have rated it higher.
