Well-crafted but not very enlightening. The ending will leave you both cold and confused.
10/22/07
Explanation, exposition and character development are at or near zero, but an atmosphere of dread is built effectively and West's technique is strong.

[A] startling sophomore feature by 26-year-old writer-director (and Larry Fessenden protégé) Ti West.

Devised for minimum fuss and maximum tension, Trigger Man is the little thriller that could.

Top CriticOnce the story goes Deliverance (1972), it's a nail-biter, and the minimalist aesthetic is an asset rather than a liability.

...follow-up to the killer bat movie The Roost is superior in almost every way, and cheaper, too!

Top CriticThe flick's got just just as much first-half "filler" as it does second-half intensity, so if you're a patient genre fan, I've no problem recommending the movie.
