Let Us Prey

(2014) ★★½

Sky Movies Premiere: PREMIERE Saturday 31 October, 12.15am

Rookie cop Pollyanna McIntosh witnesses a road traffic accident on her  new beat in a small coastal town but can’t see the victim. He’s Liam  Cunningham, and he presents himself soon enough at the cop shop,  bloody and unresponsive. They call him Six, the number of the cell  he’s placed in.

And McIntosh, the wild woman from Lucky McKee’s The  Woman, realises she can’t trust anyway inside the station, banged up  or not. From pounding synth score to chaotic siege themes, director  Brian O’Malley’s blood-splattered feature debut is a doff of the cap  to genre master John Carpenter.

The grave-faced Cunningham’s always  worth watching but the plot’s as transparent as the punning title.  Prince of Darkness inside Precinct 13? Wishful thinking. There’s a  Grabbers goofiness to this gore show.
