Shallow Ground (2004)

Another positive surprise. This time around my aversion to plot synopses is fully justified by a nearly nonsensical, but surprising and sometimes even original plot.
The direction is a little schizophrenic. On one hand director Sheldon Wilson seems to know all tricks of the horror and suspense trade, on the other he doesn't always know how to use them subtly. Still there are enough memorable moments to satisfy and as for the plot not making any fucking sense: My watching of bad movies for nearly two decades now has made me impervious to silly little things like logic. (Thanks a bunch, Lucio!)
I could have done without the last fifteen seconds, though.

Darling of the Day:
"This doesn't make sense."
"These are not sensible times, Jack."
