Irish horror movie Isolation has landed a new UK streaming home. Originally released back in 2005, the film focuses on five people who become unwilling partakers in an experiment on a remote farm that goes horribly wrong.<\/p>\n
Dropping just in time for Halloween, fans wanting to catch the horror can now do so via Channel 4 after being broadcast on Film4 last night, while the film is also free to watch on YouTube with ads.<\/p>\n
Isolation comes from director and writer Billy O’Brien, and features performances from Blue Lights’ John Lynch, Alien: Earth’s Essie Davis, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’s Marcel Iure\u0219, Mission: Impossible’s Sean Harris and Passing’s Ruth Negga.<\/p>\n
The movie sits at a strong 70% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> from 10 reviews, with ESplatter<\/a> suggesting that O’Brien “conjures a remarkable genre achievement: a somber, sad, and absolutely convincing film that is also genuinely terrifying”.<\/p>\n “Lovers of accidental monsters, science gone awry, and suffocating environments are urged to watch this hidden gem,” added Bloody Disgusting<\/a>, while All Movie Guide suggested that “fans of good old-fashioned creature features should be very pleased” with Isolation.<\/p>\n Film 4\/Lions Gate\/Kobal\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n Related: <\/strong>Best streaming services<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Variety<\/a> further called it “a moody horror opus about the fatal aftermath of DNA research at a remote Irish dairy farm”, adding that “novice writer-director Billy O\u2019Brien brings a seriousness of purpose and a modicum of showmanship to the task of serving generic B-movie cheese”.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for more horror flicks this Halloween, Channel 4 has also added British psychological horror In Fear<\/a>, which follows a young couple who are pursued by a mysterious tormentor while getting lost in a maze of country roads.<\/p>\n Recent horror hit Presence has also become available to stream<\/a>, this time for Sky Cinema and NOW subscribers. Starring Lucy Liu, the movie follows a family who move to a new home, only to realise it is occupied by a mysterious presence. The film takes a unique approach in that it is shot from the point of view of the entity.<\/p>\n Isolation<\/strong> is streaming now via Channel 4<\/a> and <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
