Spiral's a nifty lil' psychological thriller about a fucked up telemarketer who entices beautiful young women to pose for him in his bare minimalist artist's studio/apartment, with each posed portrait culminating further into unhealthy fascination, frightful obsession, and ultimately untimely engrossment.
Adam Green, director of the acclaimed 2006 flick Hatchet, takes a 180º by joining forces with first time lead actor/writer/director/producer and undeniable jack of all trades Joel Moore - but in this case, quite evidently, a master of all - with a pg-13 rating, violence, gore and nudity free what-the-fuck film. But good on them... cuz Spiral is quite superb.
With a nasty snowballed pace, cramped and dim styled photography, wicked script and brilliant lead acting from the man behind the madness, Spiral delivers the oft-attempted perfect psycho thriller...topped with a somewhat "coulda called it" twist ending, that will sure to please if egos allow.
8/10
