  ★ 7/10

  Imagine making a film on a limited budget, with a basic story, where none of the actors ever actually say anything. That's what "Year 10" does and guess what, its "excellent". This film manages to crawl under you skin on a primal, instinctual level, where each nerve shredding moment, is one defined by the need to overcome traumatic events and potentially sudden, violent death. Suffice to say, this is an edge of your seat,emotionally nerve wracking watch, that amps up the tension to 110% and in its very final scenes, even manages to be a little emotionally compelling. In summary, for a film with a simple budget, no narrative and basic story to be this innovative and engaging is downright rare. Based on what it accomplishes with the cinematic equivalent of some old twine, a box of matches and a Swiss Army knife, its deserving of praise in anyone's books. Take a look and see if you don't agree.
