A FALL FROM GRACE, RAMPANT FOXES AND ERRANT TEENAGERS SPELL DANGER IN THE MIDNIGHT ORCHARDS.
Directed by Tom Haines, Written by Luke Norris and Tom Haines
The tension builds really brilliantly as the film is slow paced, and has mainly action as opposed to dialogue.It's the pauses as much as the decisive action that make it so attention grabbing. The narrative builds up gradually so that you don't know what exactly the characters' relationships are to each other or what the plot will entail. About 4/5 pf the way through the film is when the pace picks up dramatically and the conflict becomes intense. Every second feels longer and more high-risk. There's a very real sense of urgency near the climax. It is certainly an engaging film and one that is very well executed.
The film both begins and ends in the same location of the apple orchard, but in different times of the day which give drastically contrasting atmospheres.
