Description

When Adam is invited by a beautiful, confident older woman he has just met to accompany her to a lavish party in the country he knows he is going to have the best night of his life. That night, exhilarated by the sexual chemistry they share, and the highly charged sex they have just had, Alice and Adam speed away from the party down a wooded and desolate road in Alice’s fast car. In a moment of distraction, their attention fixed on each other rather than the road, a fateful collision occurs which catapults them both into the path of a most vicious and brutal attack, the consequences of which leave them emotionally and physically scarred. A dark and intensely disturbing horror/thriller, Straightheads exudes moments of eroticism fused with barbaric events that lead Alice and Adam into a spiral of violence for the sake of their own self-preservation.

    I had high hopes for this film, particularly with Gillian Anderson in the lead role, but it's just another video-nasty that really leaves the viewer feeling uncomfortable. The rape scene is horrible and the rest of the film is just dyer (sic).

    Both dyer and Anderson superb. Plus the morals here of the mistakes of taking revenge, are prevalent. I wish it hadn't of ended the way it did though I wanted to see the outcome. Maybe they'll do a follow up.?

    I think the reviews here just don't get it. This film's horror is not in effects but in the plausible way the characters degenerate under believable stress. In that sense 'gritty' rather than 'edgy' is the word. The acting would be easy to underestimate too, but it would have been easy for any of the leads to make it less credible. To my mind, this was an attempt to show a horror that could actually happen, rather than Hollywood-esque 'fantasy' [I love a good zombie film but I don't think it could actually happen]. Or, it's an interesting take on the real-life futility of violence, done in a film rather than a documentary. That doesn't mean it's preachy either. Just put aside the fantasy of most horror and watch this for some intelligent thoughts on what horror and violence does, without a millimetre more drama than you need to keep a viewer involved.

    Danny Dyer cries like a little girl throughout the whole film - irritating. Slightly nasty plot, not really worth a watch.

    This film starts very well indeed, good cast and the start of what could be a great plot, however I think everyone including the writer gave up about 15 mins from the end. You are left with a feeling of disappointment that the film did not complete the journey you were expecting. It is worth a watch but please do not spend any money in doing so. Shame!
