Siren
Directed by Andrew Hull1h 26m2010
A group of friends escaping the city for a weekend away have a simple plan, to tour the coast for a relaxing weekend. Things hit a snag when one of the friends spots a seductive, sultry young woman waving for help off the shore of one of many secluded islands along the coast. Reaching out to rescue her turns deadly and they risk everything to get off the island alive.
Our read: Siren (2010) reads as a heavy, kinetic, inventive horror entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, kinetic, measured horror, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
