Director: Nigel Finch
Cast: Dorothy Alison, Peter Ashley, Brian Attree, Maurice Blake, Tom Bowles,
Plot: A soldier at an elite military institution is sent on a strange and increasingly nightmarish mission/errand in this full-on fever-dream thriller from long-time Pete Walker collaborator David McGillivray (House of Whipcord). This was a bit disappointing since it has great pedigree and I had high expectations, but it doesn’t really cut the mustard. However, it does have a few memorable sequences and Finch and McGillvray make good use of some great locations. (BFI)
