EYE WEEKLY Review:

Alex McCooeye does a virtuoso job as Gordon, a man who grips weakly onto sanity (and attempts to ignore the ominous scratching on his walls) by turning his daily life into a rigid routine, which he narrates intensely in the third person.  Darkly comic and smartly structured, with writer Matthew Mackenzie gradually peeling back the layers on Gordon’s life and state of mind, The Particulars is marred only slightly by some ill-advised use of musical scoring and a serious ending that doesn’t quite mesh with the black humour that has come before.

A committed Vegan, Gordon, finds himself forced in an age-old conflict with the Animal Kingdom when scratching begins to be heard in his walls. The Particulars is a story of one man’s struggle to maintain a daily routine born of emotional denial in the face of a home invasion.
