Alarm

What is this crap? It's got everything wrong and is a Celtic Tiger movie. That's the worst Irish movie sub-genre ever. Even worse than 'The black guy winning an Irish pub' sub-genre (Irish Jam). There's this attractive young lady (until she forgets her makeup in the Luas scene) who has to leave Dublin. Her dad got attacked (sad) and the property is too expensive (not anymore!) so she moves down the country to some kip. Unlike the 'lady' in 8.5 hours she doesn't resort to giving the estate agent head. Instead she uses a more persuasive charm over a man - she cries to get her home! But the neighbours all leave early to go to work (not anymore!) and there are twin brothers who hassle her. Then there's a guy who charms his way into her home. Finally there's an eldery couple who visit all the time. Quite rightly she goes mad in a Repulsion way. That's about it - what a pile of Celtic Tiger crap. Complete rubbish made by a respectable hack with too many 'industry' contacts and zero talent. GIVE ME A KIT KAT!
