The Silent House – review
Supposedly based on a true story and allegedly filmed in a single extended take in real time, this occasionally jolting but largely unconvincing Uruguayan horror flick spends 78 minutes (and a coda) with Laura, a pretty young woman, and her father in a deserted, ill-lit country house that they once lived in. You've heard of the unreliable narrator. This film features an unreliable observer, as well as a lot of blood.

Cold Fish – review
Three years ago the Japanese poet and film-maker Shion Sono directed the weird four-hour Love Exposure, an elaborately plotted black comedy about the interplay between sex and religion and the way perversions and fetishism can come to seem normal. His new film, Cold Fish, is also a black comedy and by comparison fairly ordinary. The shy owner of a suburban tropical fish shop, his young new wife and a rebellious teenage daughter are drawn into the orbit of the wealthy, outgoing owner of a major tropical fish emporium, who turns out to be a casual serial killer. Inspired by a true story about two Tokyo serial killers who murdered dog-lovers in 1993, it's overlong, drenched in blood and rather like attending a school for apprentice butchers.
