Escape radius or restraining order?,
By Michael J. Tresca "Talien" (Fairfield, CT USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: 100 Feet (DVD)
The best horror movies aren't really horror movies at all. They take domestic situations that bedevil us - addictions, petty grievances, damaged relationships - and add a supernatural twist. Authors like Stephen King know that humanity is far more horrible to each other than any demon could possibly be...the presence of the supernatural just pushes people over the precipice.
Marnie Watson (gorgeous Famke Janssen, unafraid to get dirty in this role) has been released early from her prison sentence for killing her abusive cop husband Mike (Michael Pare). She returns to her home years later by Mike's partner Shanks (Bobby Cannavale) with an ankle bracelet that triggers an alarm if she strays more than one hundred feet. But Mike isn't done with Marnie yet. He's back from the dead, determined to keep Marnie from discovering the secret buried in their former home. To get rid of the ghost, Marnie will have to sever the connection to the thing Mike holds most dear. Although 100 Feet seems like it's about the ankle bracelet Marnie wears, it also sounds a lot like a restraining order. Given that Marnie repeatedly reported domestic abuse cases to the police, which were investigated exclusively by Mike's buddies, the comparison is apt. Marnie is an abuse survivor who has been through hell...and now hell is coming for her. 100 Feet effortlessly demonstrates how powerless a victim can feel. Mike is always there, lurking, and Marnie is literally and figuratively trapped with him. Before, his power as an authority figure kept her from getting help; now, his paranormal existence prevents anyone from believing her. Mike's outbursts are visceral and ugly; when Marnie desperately clings to the one man who believes her (Ed Westwick as Joey), the response is shockingly violent. And that's how it should be. Domestic abuse is an ugly spiral, and Marnie's desperate struggle easily mirrors that of women who abusive flesh-and-blood men beating them senseless. When Marnie demands to know what Mike wants, he smears her head along the wall to spell one letter, "U." 100 Feet uses a disturbing ghost tale to send a very real message: in the end, abuse is all about control of another human being.

Love never dies: so neither does hate,
By
This review is from: 100 Feet (DVD)
When i first read about this film i must say i was a bit weary about renting it as it seemingly was from one of these new "extreme" companys that produce so many films a month that all are poorly made, edited and just in general are stupid much like The tattoo artist, Sublime, and bascialy anything "dimension extreme" has to produce Unless you care for very poor special effects and nudity that is placed in the film just because it can be done. But i digress, 100 feet tells the story of a woman recently opted for house arrest from prison after the gruesome murder/ self defense act against her husband, a well known and liked police officer, whos former partner just so happens to be the officer in charge of watching after her during her sentence. While she is free from the prison bars, she quickly learns her own home is becoming a prison itself, as neighbors whom she once chatted with now turn away from the "murderer" and children are told to stay away from her house altogether even on halloween during trick or treating ( a rather sad scene itself there) as well as the realization that despite the fact her husband has passed on, his angry and vengeful spirit has decided to extract his final revenge in the one place she cant leave, the place she should feel comfort in her own home. While the special effects arent over the top for the husband, i will say they are remeniscent of the effects in Hollow man, the actress does a trully great job at portraying a broken woman trying to find peace for herself in the mortal world and justice for herself in the spirit world

Cop This Ghost,
By
This review is from: 100 Feet (DVD)
I liked 100 Feet, I found it entertaining as a woman who is under house arrest finds that the past really does come back to haunt you. Famke Janssen is a pretty good actress and plays the battered wife, now victim, now fighting back, very well.
I liked also how the film builds and doesn't show all its cards too soon as it ropes you in to a real showdown. Ok so this is no academy award winner to be sure and they seem to be pumping out films of this ilk every other week, what is different here however is it's not just about haunting or revenge, it's about survival, even under the most supernatural encounters. As far as ghost films go, this is not a bad effort, not a bad effort at all.
