Hints of a Daphne du Maurier mystery in a modern day low budget British suspense film
22 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Neat British drama, I wouldn't class as your normal Loachian kitchen sink locale. The drama takes place in a Cornwall caravan park.

The film reminded me of a Cornwall based Daphne du Maurier mystery with its location (obviously) and the psychological drama.

The film explores the sexual relationship between a young couple Ruth (Molly Windsor) and Tom (Joseph Quinn).

When I think back to this viewing one word comes to mind, suspicion. At first Ruth is suspicious of a possible affair situation with Tom.

She discovers hair in the bedding. Not hers or Tom's.

As the film develops the suspicion angle switches 360 degrees as Tom suspects Ruth has other loves.

Director Claire Oakley brings a suspenseful drama with hints of other types of film with use of haunting location photography, lighting effects and character development.

Is Ruth imagining things in her relationships?
