The Hide
Released: 03/06/2009
ICA, London
The hide is a wooden shed in the Suffolk mudflat, where Roy the twitcher and a sinister character called Dave happen to meet and swap life life stories. An intense and weighty tone framed by a small-scale set make this thriller hugely compelling and something of a visual treat.
