Hitchcockian and clever

Lennox's film is carefully constructed, ballasted by sterling performances from his two leads - neither of whom you would call attractive or empathetic.

Overall, A Patch of Fog is a compelling tale of constant unease and escalating tension that keeps you gripped throughout.

While some of the plotting may be familiar to some viewers, the story is a tight efficient little thriller.

A murky, mercurial tale led by two tremendous actors who bring considerable heft to a British indie that shows signs of real promise.

A Patch of Fog mostly overcomes a somewhat tired narrative structure through masterful tension building and a smattering of intelligent psychology.

It's an engaging feature, pulling off agitation with skill, but it's better in psychological gamesmanship mode, permitting the talent to make sense of strange characters locked in a cautious battle of personal need.

A new spin makes any formula worth watching one more time. Watching a movie just go through the motions, as this one does, is a one-way ticket to zoning out.

Likely to be one of the year's hidden treasures. Expect to see this surprising thriller on a number of 'best films you didn't see, but should' lists come December.

The director offers up a steady build of tension aided by mostly nocturnal activity and guided by director of photography Matthias Pilz's hand-held work.
