100 Feet (2008)

100 Feet: Directed by Eric Red. With Famke Janssen, Bobby Cannavale, Ed Westwick, Michael Paré. After Marnie Watson kills her abusive husband in self-defense, she is condemned to house arrest… only to discover that the house is possessed by the enraged and violent spirit of her dead husband.

“The story starts with an interesting premise but soon goes overboard in depicting some gory scenes of a ghostu0026#39;s vengeance during which time much blood is shed for the sake of horror fans who like this sort of thing. Itu0026#39;s well acted and tense with some quietly underplayed opening scenes, but once the ghost starts wreaking the place all hell breaks loose and the story loses a great deal of credibility.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is fine, with Famke Janssen giving a strong performance as a woman forced to wear an ankle bracelet and kept under close watch by a suspicious policeman who was her husbandu0026#39;s partner. But the tension doesnu0026#39;t become tight until the last third of the story and then it goes way over the top in depicting violence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eScary enough but midway through, the story loses a lot of credibility despite the high quality of the performances.”
