Just got sent a copy of Jennifer Lynch's "
CHAINED" for review. I had a few doubts about this one going in, had heard that it very closely mimicked Steven Mena's "
Bereavement", though I have to say (for me at least) "
Chained" was a vast improvement.
Sure they shared a similar central premise, though not as close as some might suggest, and it did follow many of the age-old tropes associated with the serial killer genre - but, I thought it was a stylish and interesting attempt. Vincent D'Onofrio again uses his hulking physicality to great effect, and works well as the brick wall of evil beneath which newcomer Eamon Farren finds himself trapped.
Again, this is no break away reinvention and there will be many that question the validity of the films somewhat uneven and awkward denouement, but there are elements here that do deserve a look see. “I shall call you… Rabbit".
