New York Thriller
This is a twist on the old Bluebeard fairy tale, which gets me every time, and a blood splattered love letter to New York. Very satisfying thriller for midweek scares, and for the young and free to see themselves on screen. I woke up next day, glad to be alive, so the film has some heart and is more than fast food cinema. Solid performances and beautiful cinematography, excellent coverage for an indie film, punching above its weight. Ms. Johnson character is suitably creepy, I don't want to see her on my next hike! Young leads do a good job surfing the highs and lows of friendship while following their hedonistic impulses. Our Officer / Detective plays a nice edge between comedy and drama. Perhaps a cautionary tale to give Airbnb the boot. Watch from the safety of home.
