Set on a terrace in an affluent American mansion, the 9-minute thriller opens with Olivia cooking meat on the barbeque. As she joins her best friend of 11 years, whom she has been distant from for several months, Luna’s hostility and bitterness begins to flourish. Olivia, who is on the cusp of flying-the-nest, begins to question their homicidal practices – which only fuel’s Luna’s vengeful tendencies. A hair-raising watch with a startling narrative climax.
Under Alexander McKee’s stellar direction, the narrative and cast performances are impeccably executed – constructing the ominous tone flawlessly. Ryan Pfening’s adept cinematography is equally commendable – a cinematic finish that deserves high acclaim. Post-production and sound are also delivered to a high standard. The core themes of betrayal, torn friendships and psychopathy will keep viewers on tenterhooks – the closing scene will certainly not disappoint. An unsettling watch – in a good way. Highly recommended.
