Devil’s Tower (2014) 6/10

Starring : Roxanne Pallett, Jason Mewes, Frances Ruffelle, Jessica-Jane Stafford, Emma Buckley, Eddie Webber
Director : Owen Tooth
Running Time : 85 mins

After a falling out with her mum Kim (Ruffelle), Sarah MacColl (Pallett) moves into a rundown tower block, filled with shady characters and shrouded in mystery. After someone is found dead in the lifts, she meets a squatter named Sid (Mewes), whose best friends has gone missing, so they team up to find out what exactly is going on in the tower block.

This had a lot of potential, but it just didn't measure up to it. I liked the idea of a sprit in the security cameras that was causing people to attack each other, but the execution was terrible. People start turning into animatronic zombies and go on a killing spree through a tower block filled with people who are other having sex in cupboards or trying to sell drugs. Some of the lines in the script make this sound like it’s meant to be a comedy, as do the makeup effects which are pretty ropey, and when you have to admit that the best actor in a movie is Jessica-Jane Clement (going by Stafford in this) you know you’re in trouble.
