Synopsis

While young women are mysteriously disappearing, Jonny (Kiah McKirnan) is sent by her father to live with her aunt (played by a wonderfully unhinged Alicia Silverstone), who holds secrets of the girl’s past and future. Jennifer Reeder continues to be fascinated by the clichés and powers of genre cinema and American society, particularly in how women must struggle to survive in these two extremely toxic environments. In the bloodiest and most radical of her films, laughter and screams of terror coexist in almost every scene. (E.V.)
