BURNING BRIGHT

BURNING BRIGHT

Alternate Title:
Ravenous

USA, 2010
Director: Carlos Brooks

 8/10








More than a year ago I first saw a trailer for "Burning Bright" and it deeply impressed me. Now that it's out on DVD and I've finally seen it, I truly can say: yes, this is a great movie and it totally lives up to my expectations.
It's extremely suspenseful, thrilling and gripping with a terrific claustrophobic feeling and many heart-stopping edge-of-seat scenes (the scene in the laundry chute - outstanding!!). The acting of Briana Evigan (next big star?) and Charlie Tahan (very believable!) is absolutely stunning, the story is great, the script is perfectly written and well-paced, and last but not least: the tiger, a real one, just looks fantastic.
An excellent and highly enjoyable flick. Recommended!
