Joey Keogh Wicked Horror [T]he script is lazy, the action and gore perfunctory and there is not one moment where Bait is anything less than utterly predictable. Rated: 2/10 Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror Burrows beneath your skin from the off, with a sly edit that ekes out the tension to unbearable levels.

Audience Member Bex and Dawn dream of opening a cafe together. Out of the blue, a generous businessman offers them the funds they need to make that dream a reality. Joy turns to crippling fear when the friends discover a vicious loan shark, who expects repayments or for them to suffer the consequences. Truly frightening and superbly written, this is a morality tale for the 21st century. The film is gritty to say the least with superb performances from the main cast who tackle the grim premise with a reality that's heart-breaking. Burrows beneath your skin from the off, with a sly edit that ekes out the tension to unbearable levels. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
