Films To Keep You Awake - Blame

Blame (2006)
Dir: Narciso Ibáñez Serrador

A single mother moves in with her friend because of financial difficulties and finds out she is running an abortion clinic. When she accidentally gets pregnant by her lover she decides to terminate it with tragic consequences.
A slow paced story that had the potential to be much better. The premise is interesting enough and it has a pretty disturbing theme, but it fails to provide any suspense or scares and has a really weak pay off. It desperately needs a better setting as the house where the majority of the film takes place is not nearly as creepy as the director thinks it is. The acting is okay and it's well shot, but the promise of something far scarier is what lets this effort down.
