: Soho Square

Cool little low budget digital flick shot in London’s Soho district about a cop haunted by the memories of his wife’s suicide after a miscarriage. Someone is murdering young women in Soho and setting the bodies on fire leaving the police with minimal evidence and the cop is on the murderer’s trail. There’s a nice twist at the end that helps the plot fit together, but the main thing that’s interesting about the film is the way it is directed, especially for such a small budget (IFC said it was shot for about $7500 — if so, that’s amazing). It feels like a “real” movie. You certainly don’t notice any budget constraints, though occasionally the film’s digital origins are obvious. Overall, I nice tale, brilliantly told. Nothing earthshattering or magical, but certainly above average.
