Flowerman

This film is a very well constructed, psychological thriller with a perfectly disturbing villain and real characters who I cared very much about. It has just the right amount of uncertainty and mystery to keep me guessing as to what's going to happen next, and plenty of nail-biting suspense that kept me off kilter, thoroughly enjoying the ride the whole time. I normally don't even watch films this creepy at night because they keep me awake. This one fills the bill for late night creep factor, as it'll keep you sufficiently on edge. I'm a big fan of the thriller and psychological thriller genres, and Flowerman felt right on. If you want a good, creepy, suspenseful story, definitely check it out.

In this twisted thriller, we follow Sarah, happily married with two children. Everything changes when the psychopath Nigel abducts the loving wife, manipulating reality so brilliantly that the couple starts doubting each other. While the movie progresses twists and turns follow, leaving you at the edge of your seat. Everybody can rely to the wish of having a secure and loving family at home, which makes Flowerman so intense when we explore the creepiness and darkness of Sarah's and Nigel's relationship. Rob Burrows managed to create a dense plot. The actors pull it off just great. If you like thrillers and sinister antagonists, you should definitely give Flowerman a go.

I cannot rate this movie highly enough. It is one of those hidden gems that you come across on a dark night before bed. The relationship between the two main characters, Nigel and Sarah, is so dark, creepy and sinister that is seemed wrong to enjoy it. And the creepy character of Nigel Simmonds, he belongs up there alongside Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates. And the actor who plays Nigel, Jason Savin, his performance is superb. Did he win any awards for this movie? Within the film is some delicious dialogue. It is so delightful. As soon as I had watched it I had to tell all my friends to watch it as well. We sometimes quote the dialogue to each other when we meet up. This movie is well written, well filmed and well acted - an absolute gem!

Sarah (Amy Ormston), her husband, Andrew (Ian Stewart Robinson), and their kids enjoy a quiet, small town life. Sarah works at a flower shop, where she encounters a rather odd man named Nigel (Jason Savin). Sarah is unaware that Nigel has been stalking her and her family, doing bizarre things, and growing increasingly obsessed with her. Untold horror ensues.

Sort of.

FLOWERMAN is a low-low budget film from the UK. Ormston is fairly convincing in her role, while Savin comes across as both insanely eeevil and intensely annoying. His nasal voice and ferret-like grimace provide a bounty of irritating moments. This approach makes him utterly detestable!

The other issue is the movie's length. At 94 minutes, about 15-20 minutes of meandering could have been excised.

MAN A$$ ALERT: Nigel's bumpy buttocks provide the only real nudity in the movie! Beware! Look away! Now!...

If you like horror films and like to be scared, you wont be disappointed. This has got to be one of the creepiest films I've seen in a long time, if not ever. The acting was solid, story compelling, the pace was just right and most of all, it was really entertaining. The idea of being stalked and not knowing who the stalker may be is a very scary concept. My girlfriend was on the edge of her seat the whole time. There are lots of twists and turns and I was not expecting that ending! I only wish we could have seen this in a movie theater, surrounded by other people, to hear the gasps and amplify the experience even more. We won't be sleeping any time soon. Anyone who likes this genre should put it on their must see lists of scary films.
