A bride's wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to play a terrifying game.
The film is a dark comedy packed with wall-to-wall tension, reminiscent of Get Out. While the humour occasionally skirts the line of bad taste, it remains enjoyable thanks to Samara Weaving's standout performance, the sharp direction by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and its strong production values. Supporting performances by Adam Brody, Mark O'Brien, Elyse Levesque, Nicky Guadagni, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell are also noteworthy.
As a black comedy, it can be hit or miss-largely depending on individual taste-but its unique blend of horror, humour, and social commentary makes it compelling. The majority use of the single location add a sense of claustrophobia. It delivers sharp humour, bold anti-marriage themes, and a mix of revenge-driven action with a subversive critique of privilege and arrogance.
Overall, it's a briskly paced, well-crafted production with stellar acting and striking direction.
