It's not necessary to have seen the first of this trilogy, "Red Riding: In the year of our lord 1974", but I would still recommend it if you have the option. Though this is better and more interesting, the first is still very good, though might be a let down compared to this second. I rated "1974 to a 7 of 10, and this is a 8,5, so I've voted 9, because it's simply not a 7,2 which is the current rating.
Without revealing any plot either from "1974" or "1980" the films are both very well made. artful, beautiful though gloomy and bleak. Fantastic filming, simply first class when it comes to ideas as well as angles and thought put into every scene. Stunningly beautiful and very believable, and solid British in style.
A special group is sent to Yorkshire to investigate the Yorkshire Rippedr case, which now has turned up 13 dead women, and is riding the police force and the British public as a mare. But why is the police so ineffective? Right from the start you are into the suspense.
The acting is electric, with Paddy Considine in his best role of the ones I've seen. but every single one acting here is amazingly good. Solid and electric. I was literary glued in front of this. Compelling and riveting film making. James March has directed the film perfectly, and all is put into 90 minutes of brilliance. One of those films you decide you want to see again, before the end credits are over.
