No, this is not a cookery book for how to use a dead corpse. '247 Degrees Fahrenheit' is a horror film that removes the monsters, the serial killer and the puzzles of horror for a simple scenario that would bring fear to us all.

When four friends head to a lakeside cabin the temperature get hotter and we’re not talking Scout Taylor-Compton and Christina Ulloa. Upon their attendance they plan to go to a party but before they head out, they all go into the makeshift sauna and it’s from then on that the tension rises.

Jenna (Taylor-Compton) feels the history of her tragedies flashback as she was involved in the death of her then boyfriend in a car accident. Blended with this is the tortured relationship between friends Renee (Ulloa) and Michael (Michael Copon) and the loose end chasing Jenna, Ian (Travis Van Winkle). When a drunken Michael stumbles out of the sauna the temperature unexpectedly begins rising and there’s no way out.

A claustrophobic drama that is brilliantly acted by all involved that makes the tension believable and while the “based on true events” lies firmly on the bottom line, the events that ensure bring true terror that removes monsters for real-life horror. Those expecting gallons of blood and a few sharp instruments will be disappointed but if you want some original tense dramatics, this ticks all the boxes.

Also throwing in an appearance from horror favourite Tyler Mane and a far from happy ending, '247 Degrees Fahrenheit' is a small gem that makes for a fresh new movie with originality.
