Back in December, I raved about a film called THE HIDE that I had seen at BAFTA. Well, it’s only gone and got picked up by Film4, where the world can watch it next Monday (16th) at 11PM. The story, based on a play by Tim Withnall called The Sociable Plover, revolves around a lonely birdwatcher and his meeting with a sinister stranger in a remote hide. But all is not what it seems in this taught thriller…

It’s well worth staying up late for, even on a Monday night.

If you enjoy the film, you may also be interested to know that both the producer (Christopher Granier-Deferre) and one of the lead actors (Phil Campbell) will feature in the next edition of movieScope, out next month,
