Imagine if a Seventies Italian horror film had a child with Tales of the Unexpected (1979-1988), and you’ll get a feel for Peter Strickland’s films. This one is full with absurdist dialogue, and eccentric characters. It depends heavily upon the sound design, and layered images to tell the story. Strickland should’ve directed High Rise. He has a better feel for the material than Ben Wheatley. I get the feeling a version by Strickland would’ve been gritty, and heavy on the attack. In Fabric is a good film that needs to be seen to be believed.
