Mimi (Sasha Ramos) is a college girl who lives life to the fullest -
which includes banging 52 year old Marc (John Lucas) just because his
eyepatch makes him look like a pirate and then ditching him when he fails
to perform properly. It also of course throwing a party when her parents
are out, a party for her, her best friend Tab (Erin Cline), Tab's
boyfriend Sean (Chris Greene) , and Dutch (Joe Coffey), a guy Tab has
picked for Mimi to bang next. And of course, part of the party is to get
Mimi's little sister Kylene (Emily Rogers) and her boyfriend Harris
(Anthony Rutowicz) drunk enough so they're finally going to do it. Now
that plan falls flat because Harris is waaay too much into Tab's tits -
and Kylene comes out a lesbian also waaay too much into Tab's tits ... Now
that's of course only a minor setback compared to the fact that Marc
suddenly shows up all naked and with a gun, and he shoots himself right in
front of all the party guests ... and Mimi and company suddenly start to
panic - sure it was suicide, but the scandal this might produce ... so
what to do other than notify the authorities? Things get worse when
Marc's wife Lola (Julianna Pitt) shows up too, looking for her husband
(oblivious of his slightly deceased status of course), and when she's
knocked out that only seems to offer the others a little breather - until
she's found tied to a chair, and since nobody present seems to have done
it (or at least admits to it), there seems to be a loonie in the house -
and his intentions don't seem to be entirely benign - well, it's not long
before the corpses begin to pile ... Sanctuary: Quite a Conundrum
is one of those micro-budget movies that really makes its limitations it
advantages, that doesn't relie on spectacle, on aping fomulas or on just
trying to gross out the audience or luring it in with an abundance of
nudity. Instead the movie falls back on a clever script with plenty of
unexpected but nevertheless plausible twists and turns, peppered with some
witty dialogue, carried by a bunch of powerful performances breathing life
into readly fleshed out characters. Totally recommended!
