We are big fans of Julian Gilbey's white knuckle chase-film,
A Lonely Place to Die, a top shelf action picture that absolutely must be seen on the big screen in glorious 2.35:1 scope. I've caught this one at two different film festivals (
one of which, it won the award for best feature film) with very enthusiastic audiences, and it has one more big stop on the genre-fest circuit, Film4Frightfest, before its commercial release in the UK in September. Yanks and Canucks will have to wait for a release in November or so. Kaleidoscope Entertainment have cut together a trailer that surprisingly isn't all that spoilerish, unless you count the first act set-up, and really
A Lonely Place To Die is all about the action and the pacing, not so much the plotting (which I should add is just fine.)
A group of five mountaineers are hiking and climbing in the Scottish
Highlands when they discover a young Serbian girl buried in a small
chamber in the wilderness. They become caught up in a terrifying game of
cat and mouse with the kidnappers as they try to get the girl to
safety.
