The Reeds is a cheap British horror film directed by a bloke that has four Eastenders episodes to his credit. But don't let that put you off. Will Melor (from the BBC's Two Pints Of Larger) and chums head off for a weekend boating trip. Then, in the midst of their floating reveling they get lost amongst the reeds. Then it all goes a bit wrong. Boating accidents, a nutter with a shotgun, and some cannibalistic teens all conspire to make sure the group of party goers will have the most difficult time finding their way safely to freedom.
On occasion it tries to be too clever for it's own good, but not enough to ruin the whole thing. There's enough style, intrigue, screaming and gore to keep you involved up to it's creepy conclusion. The biggest question about The Reeds doesn't concern it's possible supernatural elements but rather cast member Anna Brewster. Can anybody tell me what accent the Brummy lass is trying to put on 'cause it was unfathomable to me?...
