The simple, isolated and idyllic life of a couple is shattered by the brutal attack of a religious cult.
This film is exactly what I would imagine a film directed by David Lynch, co-written by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, in the 1980s to be like.
With a mix of styles, it will not be a lot of people's cup of tea. Filmed in an 80s camera style, using a very prolific theme at the time (slasher / revenge), but interwoven with audio-visual artistic effects that are very uncharacteristic to the genre, it engages the viewer almost unknowingly through an abundance of difficult moments whether they're emotionally loaded or filled with disturbing actions.
All the protagonists are superb in their interpretation, with the subtle Andrea Riseborough impressing the most.
You've seen Linus Roache in Vikings and The Wings of The Dove, Andrea in Birdman, Black Mirror and Welcome To The Punch. Richard Brake is The Night King and Bill Duke can often be seen in John Carpenter's films.
Directed by: Panos Cosmatos
With: Nicholas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Richard Brake, Bill Duke
