<em>'The Damned'</em> sets the tone well and holds solid cast performances, it's a perfectly good movie with a fitting run time of around 90 minutes. There are naturally issues with it, I do think the plot gets a little repetitive for example, but all in all I liked it enough. Odessa Young isn't ... someone I was aware of a few hours ago, though this is a pleasant and noteworthy first experience of her acting capabilities. Siobhan Finneran, another I didn't previously know, is also a plus point. Joe Cole and Rory McCann, much more familiar to me, are good as well.
