The Devil's Business
Directed by Sean Hogan
Two hit men are sent to murder an old associate of their underworld boss. But things are not all what they seem in their quarry’s house and the discovery of a make-shift black magic altar - and its shocking sacrifice - sends the uncomprehending duo into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls and terrifying confrontations with their worst primal fears. Brilliantly acted, solidly crafted and exuding a palpable atmosphere of claustrophobic dread, this eerily effective gem announces the arrival of director Sean Hogan on the genre’s front-line. Contains strong language, violence and gore.
A pair of hit men find occult shocks at the home of their latest target.
Cast: Billy Clarke, Jack Gordon, Jonathan Hansler

I had this on in the background while I was making dinner, and it made an excellent backdrop to my mundane activities. It was nice to see something British, and the lead Irish actor played his role well. Overall I thought the film was atmospheric and interesting, albeit with the caveat of my doing other things whilst watching it, such as playing a game on my phone after I had made and eaten my dinner. However, I have ADHD, so my multitasking is not necessarily a reflection of the quality of the film. What I wanted was something engaging but not too engaging. . . Interesting but not something I had to watch and listen to every second of. . . And this did just that. Plus, I love British swearing in films, they've got such a way.
Well there's an hour of my life wasted. . .
Definitely worth the watch. I think that was Pinner's kid.
This was not boring. It's got a Pulp Fiction/Snatch wanna be dialog thing going on. Pretty good.
at least it was short
