Straightheads

2007 · 88 min Thriller
5.2 / 10 · TMDB

There is instant chemistry between Alice (Gillian Anderson), a businesswoman, and Adam (Danny Dyer), a younger working-class man who installs a security system in her London apartment. She takes him to a party in the country, and they end up making love. But the night turns horrific when they encounter three thugs who maim Adam and rape Alice. The incident turns them into fearful recluses until Alice spots the leader of their attackers (Anthony Calf) -- and the two victims plot a brutal revenge.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director builds tension economically — doesn't waste it, holds it in reserve. The film pins you to your seat methodically, without rushing.

Sustains tension exactly as long as needed. May dip slightly after — but the overall level is good.

For viewers who appreciate intelligent genre work without dumbing down.

Director: Dan Reed
