Trauma is a 2004 British psychological thriller film directed by Marc Evans and written by Richard Smith.

A few weeks later, Ben is out of the hospital and, attempting to start a new life, he moves home and is befriended by a beautiful young neighbour Charlotte (Mena Suvari).

[6]" Shadows on the Wall adds, "Evans fills the screen with... moody, atmospheric, and evocative visuals,[3]" and Filmcritic.com says the film has "The Ring-inspired creepy imagery.

"[7] Neil Young's Film Lounge describes the film's visual in this way: "Evans (along with cinematographer John Mathieson, production-designer Richard Smith and editor Mags Arnold) tries desperately to jazz everything up, deploying all manner of distorted visuals - extreme camera angles and close-ups, plus over-atmospheric lighting effects and jagged cuts - in a strenuous attempt to get us into Ben's tormented state-of-mind.

"[6] Reel Film Reviews adds "Firth's performance, not surprisingly, is the best thing about the movie, and the actor does a nice job of portraying Ben's increasing paranoia.
