Ever since Viola's (Gabriella Wright) miscarriage, her and Nicola's
(Bret Roberts) marriage has been somewhat on the edge ... so Nicola
figures a trip to his (by now deceased) parents' house in the mountains,
where nothing might disturb their peace and tranquility, and where a few
quiet days should put everything right again. But right from the get-go,
Viola feels something's quite simply off about the place, as if it was
haunted ... and eventually, this feeling gets too strong so she tries to
simply run away no matter where - and is only stopped by a treebranch in
her way she has overlooked - but thank God for a ranger (Carl Wharton) who
finds her and drives her back to Nicola's parents' place. Now everything
seems nice again, and the two even decide to try for another kid ... when
Nicola decides to cuff her to their bed, seemingly for kinky sex, but
actually he's so overcome by (utterly unfounded) jealousy, he just wants
her pinned down to torture the "truth" out of her. But fight
hasn't left her just yet, and soon things get bloody ... Now
for its first two acts, The Perfect Husband is something of a
slowburn movie, which might not work for everyone, but with a little bit
of patience one will actually be able to see the mystery blossom, and the
atmospheric direction does its part to keep things from getting boring,
also helped by a couple of very competent leads - so yeah, you'll actually
get your money's worth even before the pay-off - but the (very) extended
finale (plus the rather unexpected resolution) really pack a punch,
going beyond what you'd expect of a movie of this irk not so much in
exlicity but sheer audacity and willingness to push the story further and
further still. Quite shocking a finale, actually - and wonderful because
of that!
