Eva, a 19th-century widow is tasked with making an impossible choice when, in the middle of an especially cruel winter, a ship sinks off the coast of her isolated fishing post. Eva and her crew must choose to either rescue the shipwrecked or survive the winter with their last remaining food. Facing the consequences of their choice and tormented by their guilt, the inhabitants wrestle with a mounting sense of dread and begin to believe they are all being punished for their choices.

'The Damned' sets the tone well and holds solid cast performances, it's a perfectly good movie with a fitting run time of around 90 minutes. There are naturally issues with it, I do think the plot gets a little repetitive for example, but all in all I liked it enough. Odessa Young isn't someone I was aware of a few hours ago, though this is a pleasant and noteworthy first experience of her acting capabilities. Siobhan Finneran, another I didn't previously know, is also a plus point. Joe Cole and Rory McCann, much more familiar to me, are good as well.
