if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Made redundant Paul {Andrew Humes) life is a mess. While out running he meets John (Mark Arnold). They strike up an unlikely friendship and things seem to take a turn for the good. However, John's behavior becomes erratic even obsessive taking Paul on a more sinister downward journey with unexpected results. Higgins brings us a tension that simmers just beneath the surface holds our attention. A visually thought provoking film with sold performances from the cast makes this movie worth your time. Winner Best Feature NYC Independent Film festival 2016, Winner Best film Melbourne Indie Film Festival 2016, Best UK Feature Raindance Film Festival Nominee 2015. Look forward to more from this writer/director.

Mile End is a atmospheric film. Shot with craft. Edited in a way you don't notice the editing; good. The characters feel very real and familiar. I cared what happens to the them, which is typical of good storytelling. I recognised the ego of Paul, the main character, in myself. This made we feel embarrassed and uncomfortable as I saw how Paul treats others around him. His fragile confidence and reluctance to accept help are very human qualities. I couldn't help but feel involved in the story; partly due to local setting. The other the frustrations of Kate. After the film finished, I was left with many questions and points of discussion. Very much a good thing.

I loved this film - a gripping story, beautifully told. There are some stunning scenes of London and some incredibly poignant moments amid the thrill and horror. It's so lovely to see east London shot with such love and care.I love the way it leaves some shades of ambiguity and questions that stay with you long after you've watched it. The acting is great, particularly the sinister but somehow still sympathetic runner.Love it, can't wait to watch it again. Highly recommended!

An unsettling thriller with some genuinely scary moments that I didn't see coming and had me jumping out of my seat! The acting was excellent, the hero a totally believable ordinary bloke of the sort you might work with or live next to, placed in a sinister situation which again, you could imagine yourself being drawn into unwittingly. The film develops an atmosphere of creepiness, claustrophobia and menacing psychological dysfunction which is enhanced by contrasting expansive views of the London's riverside, where which much of the action is set. Mark Arnold as John is really scary and threatening- he'd make a very good Bond villain! There are some surprising twists and a really satisfying ending.
