HEARTLESS (2009)
PHILIP RIDLEY
Plot
Shy photographer Jamie lives with his widowed mum in a Bethnal Green high-rise flat. Picked on by the bullies that run the streets and unable to find a girl he reluctantly makes a Faustian pact with a mysterious stranger. Quite what is his fantasy and quite what is supposed to be real I'm not quite sure, but making a pact with a Devil is not normally recommended as a solution to ones problems. An original, if flawed, urban (London) paranoia thriller.
