One of the mixed blessings of Amazon Prime is that it does give a distribution channel for films which might otherwise not get an audience. And so it is with Distorted - a horror set in the North Wales countryside.It lacks polish and feels distinctly amateurish at times - but it passed the time and kept me engaged. Especially as I indulged in calling out the recognisable locations from my mountain biking trips to Conwy. I immediately recognised Rowen for example!
The acting is a step up from local am-dram, but not always very consistent. The music is creepily effective and there are a few moments of turn-away-from-the-screen gruesomeness.
All in all, a debut which shows some promise.
Verdict: Horrid little Welsh indie shocker.
