A bride-to-be is invited to her fiancé’s bachelor party, but when uncomfortable details of their relationship are exposed, the night takes a feral turn.
This Australian film is a hard film to explain or exactly describe that as it builds itself a horror film, though it’s not quite that though throughout there are plenty of shocks and a lot of uncomfortable scenes.
This is a film best to go into blind and discover for yourself. So hopefully you watch it before reading the review. As I will try not to spoil it.
Though the film focuses more on friendships and relationships and the traumas, they can cause or being in one while trying to get over trauma
The pain and torture we cause the ones we care about in love as well as our ourselves for the people we love.
As this filmmore explores the horrors of relationship post traumatic stress, and the realization that the longer you spend with each other, there is a depth, but it also leads you to start drifting away from one another, and the fear that might cause.
this is a film more for the audience to discover as this is definitely an Avant Garde presentation and everyone will have a different reaction to the film or get something out of it differently than another person as it is that audacious. It tries to answer most of the questions but leaves some more ambiguous.
It also tries while dealing with these issues and subjects to be a character study for each member of the ensemble. As we wonder what fuels them and at times they’re blatant cruelty towards one another.
One will admit there are many times when I was confused as to what exactly was going on. As the film sets up some mysteries that are explained in others that aren’t quite though leads you on the path to some kind of answer. It’s that type of film.
Well, just as when we think we have figured it out or we have gotten all the answers we get another point of view on a character or a relationship that totally changes our initial opinions.
Ben Hunter who plays Dylan comes across the strongest here, but it might be because his character is also written as the biggest in the loudest, but you can tell there’s a vulnerability underneath all his bravado.
By the end, the film definitely gives the audience something to think about which it also offers throughout the film while also throwing them off base and leaving them to wander and think throughout
Grade: B-
