Review of Siren

Siren (III) (2010)
7/10
A modern take, sexy, original view on a classic mythological tale.
10 May 2011
Didn't really know what I was getting when I got the DVD but felt adventurous and certainly didn't regret it.

This film is the vision of late Andrew Hull, on how to translate an old myth into our modern age where the cult of the perfect body leads to temptations and treacheries. It explores the laws of attraction, the Femme Fatale idea in a way that seems to me inspired by the French New Wave.

More down to earth, it's a bunch of young people marooned on a seemingly desert island, there's lots of blood, 4 little known actors but with great potential.

The film is beautifully lit i thought by Will Humphries who's been working in the camera department for US block busters i think and i recommend it if you feel like seeing an unusual, independent and original horror.
