FOR THOSE IN PERIL (UK/93’/2013)

‘There’s hope’

 Ever got bullied, criticized or alienated by someone in your life? Well, Aaron (George Mackay) playing the role of a young guy, in this film For Those in Peril, goes through all sorts of odd things in his entire life. Being a Scottish village of fishermen’s, he with other five guys, including his brother Michael, go on fishing. They meet a disastrous accident in which only Aaron survives and of which he doesn’t remember anything.

Aaron is ill treated by the villagers and his only hopes are his mother and Michael’s girlfriend. They support him. Slowly Aaron starts believing that Michael is alive and goes in deep sea to kill the sea monster and rescue his brother. In all this alienation he recollects his childhood memories and starts building a world around it.

Director Paul Wright’s debut is promising. The concept of hope after a lot of grief and sorrow has been finessed properly. Exploring a local story of a sea monster engulfing all the people from village and a hero fighting back the monster rescues everyone is told through sensuous visuals. The irony in the end of stirs up the mind and makes us feel hopeful in a way.
