Surprisingly good, practically unknown, horror movie from cult writer / director Eric Red ('The Hitcher') and starring the underrated Famke Janssen ('X-Men', 'Goldeneye'); '100 Feet' didn't get a theatrical release or much exposure on DVD but is definitely worth looking out for, especially if you enjoy supernatural thrillers like 'The Entity' or 'Stir Of Echoes'.

Just released from prison for killing her abusive cop husband, Marnie Watson (Janssen) is tagged and allowed to serve the remainder of her sentence under house arrest; an electronic ankle bracelet lets her move within a 100ft radius of the house (hence the awkward and somewhat cryptic title). But Marnie's got more on her mind than that, for the ghost of her late husband haunts their home and seems hell-bent on tormenting our hapless protagonist from beyond the grave. The ghosts not much of a ghost at all but reminiscent of Kevin Bacon's 'Hollow Man'; this malevolent, free roaming, full torso vaporous apparition frequently goes into full on Sam Raimi mode inflicting some serious damage by throwing Famke down a flight of stairs, into a radiator and, in a scene that's as gob smackingly OTT as it is shocking, puts the spectral smack-down on some cocky young stud who made the mistake of taking up Marnie's offer of a one-night-stand.

'100 Feet' is an atmospheric, often suspenseful, B-style horror which gets down to brass tacks in terms of creating a mood and making the most of its one location. With an excellent central performance by Famke Janssen, '100 Feet' is better than a lot of the horror movies out there and I'd rather watch this again, then face the prospect of 'Hostel 3' or 'Saw 15'.
