Provocatively toying with horror conventions, Roxanne Benjamin ensures maximum impact when the terror begins; though the occasional awkward edit rears its ugly head. Anchored by a star-making lead turn and sporting superb sound design, Body At Brighton Rock is a bloody good time. Read full review

While Benjamin’s choice to give Wendy little to no backstory makes sense given the film’s overall efficiency, Body At Brighton Rock would be more memorable if she was fleshed out a little further. It’s more fun to cheer for a character that you really feel like you know — even if you just met them. Read full review

What makes Body at Brighton Rock such good fun is understanding where Wendy is coming from, and connecting to the very specific engine that’s fueling her fear. The movie’s truth doesn’t disappoint, because the truth is that nature plays tricks on the mind. Read full review

Though Benjamin struggles to fill her running-time, the movie mostly reaffirms that she’s a talented genre director. Read full review

Body at Brighton Rock is the happy work of someone who misses when scrappy genre fare could have low stakes and still feel slightly dangerous; when filmmakers were empowered by the knowledge that a VHS of their schlock took up just as much real estate on video store shelves as a tape of the biggest Hollywood blockbuster.

Mildly involving indie. Read full review

Benjamin never quite replicates that creepy feeling of being alone in a dangerous place, resulting in a film that needs some dirt under its nails and to get under our skin to be effective. It simply never is. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to keep this short and sweet. The good thing about this movie was the scenery. Lots of good outdoor shots (I grew up in a similar area so it brought back memories). The bad thing: everything else. The writing, the lead actress, lack of a backstory... I could go on. And the bear attack was not realistic. I both laughed and cringed during that scene. I'm sorry but IRL she would have been mauled to death. Instead she kicks it in the head and stuns it long enough to dig out a lighter and an aerosol can to scare it away? Come on! 4/10 just because of the beautiful scenery.… Expand

Was not good enough, or bad enough to be good. Was it supposed to be funny? It felt genreless. Everything is wrong. Impressively consistantly wrong.
