Coffin Rock
One of the films I liked least of the festival, though I can see why some liked it - infidelity is a bit of a trigger point for me, which contributed alot.
Was well acted, but when the character that's most sympathetic is the one initially set up as a stalker... no sympathy particularly for the heroine-of-sorts who doubled as both emotionally cruel to her husband as well as unfaithful! The test results element was hugely predictable in a convenient sort of way too.
One bit that made me uncomfortable was the thrown-in inclusion of her telling him to stop - which he ignored - which was then forgotten for the rest of the film...
For me, wound up being a kind of Crimewatch version of a Jeremy Kyle episode...

Coffin Rock
I've just watched this and thought it was complete balls. Another 2009 stinker.
