The Furies
Directed by Tony D'Aquino
Rebellious high school students Kayla and her best friend Maddie are abducted by a sinister presence while out bombing their neighbourhood with graffiti. Waking up, in the woods, bound and disoriented in a claustrophobic coffin-like apparatus, Kayla's first thought is of Maddie. Before she has a chance to ruminate on the dreadful fate that may have befallen her friend, Kayla notices a terrifying masked man fast approaching, armed with a razor-sharp axe. As a chase ensues, it soon becomes clear that Kayla and her pursuer are not alone. There are six more young women, each with a masked stalker assigned to them, hell-bent on murder.
Stranded in the middle of nowhere, Kayla becomes an unwilling participant in a dangerous game.
Cast: Airlie Dodds, Linda Ngo, Taylor Ferguson, Ebony Vagulans

Real fun, faced paced, gory survival-slasher film. If that's what you want this will provide. It really leans in to its central concept and everything is shown from the point of view of some terrified, confused and hunted women. The strange set up is never properly explained, but to me that is a strength - we're in the same position as the unwilling participants - largely confused about what is going on, what the 'rules' are and who is behind it all. There are three strong performances from the main characters, but you are left with enough uncertainty to be unsure who will make it to the end. A simple concept realised with gusto. Four stars if you are looking for a bloody, fun film without subtext or complexity. Probably two stars if you want something more nuanced ...
The acting was good. The story line however could have gone a lot deeper leading up to a more climactic ending. If you like gore then this is definitely for you, but if you like a bit more of a thriller element to a movie then you may be disappointed.
Good, slasher/horror movie. The makers did back away from some of the death scenes when they could have really capitalized on it. But this is the only shortcoming and not much of one, really. Plenty of gore.
Not 5 skulls, but very good. Interesting idea, I thought acting was good, gore was good and some interesting kills. Id of rated 4 skulls but I’m tryna bring it down from 5.
ok movie
