Tony
Yet another in a series of unknown films and never be released nationwide, Tony tells the story of an unemployed reclusive and socially awkard creep living in East London.
Tony Benson lives a very sheltered life, relying on 80s and 90s action films to build his lust for killing, whilst presenting a weedy and shy guise when out in public. During his lonely days, he lures unknowing clubbers, druggies and door to door salesmen to his flat, before unleashing various murder techniques. Storing their bodies and limbs in his flat, he later dispenses of them in nearby canals.
For the first time in a long while, I can understand how an independent film may be overlooked and kept out of the public eye. This is not a film which glorifies any aspect of life. It merely paints a grim picture of being lonely, scared of human contact and is devoid of a positive message. Nevertheless, other than an abrupt and seemingly lacking ending, the film is a subtlely poignant albeit nasty tale of loneliness in modern Britain.
7/10
