This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Sadly Over-hyped

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

FLOWERMAN is a cheap indie thriller that hails from Britain. The story sees an ordinary family woman kidnapped and held captive by your usual garden variety psychopath. The story riffs on various genres and tries to play out as a character study, but it feels largely inert, spoiled by some very cheesy acting (from the bad guy in particular) and cliched scenarios.

There are so many thrillers around nowadays but only few really can stand out. Flowerman is one of them. The start is very simple and peaceful as we see a happy middle-class British family and the mother of two sweet kids, Sarah, her daily routine and her work in the florists. But the moment we see one of her daily customers Nigel picking-up his flowers and seeing his eyes while saying "... you passed your test for the day, Sarah" the creepy feeling begins, and the story unfolds with lot of unexpected turns and twists. Without revealing the story any further I just want to add that the Flowerman surprised me a lot. It is really thought provoking, it has many layers and will stay in your mind for a long time.

In this twisted thriller, we follow Sarah, happily married with two children. Everything changes when the psychopath Nigel abducts the loving wife, manipulating reality so brilliantly that the couple starts doubting each other. While the movie progresses twists and turns follow, leaving you at the edge of your seat. Everybody can rely to the wish of having a secure and loving family at home, which makes Flowerman so intense when we explore the creepiness and darkness of Sarah's and Nigel's relationship. Rob Burrows managed to create a dense plot. The actors pull it off just great. If you like thrillers and sinister antagonists, you should definitely give Flowerman a go.

This movie is set in the North of England. It tells us about a well balanced and loving family. They seem to have it all. Then they lost the mother who is taken. The man doing this was able to make it look like she had been having an affair. What fascinated me about it was that this was such a convincing tale told in such a way that there was no doubt as to the reality of the situation. He made it happen so easily that this should be as scary as hell, and it is for that reason. OK it is a well made movie and has tension and twists and all the things you may expect a successful movie to have. But the real scary bit is that this has happened and could happen again. There has been a high profile news story recently where the police gave up on the victim. The writers of this movie seemed to know a lot about the mindset of someone who could do such a thing. It shows how the man had power and that is what was so creepy and disturbing about it.
