It's a good deal too stagey to work as a thriller, but the location shooting on desolate mud-flats is resonant and the twist has a sick verve. Addictive stuff.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2009

It's all given a much-needed shot of credibility by the strength of the writing and the subtlety of the directing. Losey is a talent to watch, and 'The Hide' makes for one hell of a Hollywood calling card.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2009

Marek Losey's thriller The Hide is a macabre gem. It's a crude but enthralling duel with shades of Peter Schaffer's Sleuth. Shades too of Hitchcock's Rope.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2009

A claustrophobic, tense, ultra-low-budget British film with a neat final twist.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2009

The Hide is a modestly scaled but cleverly written chamber piece.
