Isolation (2004). This sticky little nasty takes a Holstein and makes it scary, quite an accomplishment. The farm atmosphere was pleasantly realistic, with mud everywhere and the requisite preg check an icky affair for those not accustomed. While the characters were left flat, this one was about pacing and a building sense of tension. The story was sparce and only gave enough info to keep us intrigued but wonderfully confused as to what could have possibly gone so wrong. While the POV camera work likely annoyed some, it was more than enjoyable to this viewer. The nasty itself was a mess of a creature, a wonderfully slimy affair made sans CGI. Overall this was a an enjoyable entry to the horror genre. Late.
