So they make up a scheme to punish their husbands, with the punishment fitting the crime ... <p> <p>Story-wise, <b>The Pact</b> is very much reminiscent of in a good way old-fashioned short stories (think Roald Dahl or the like here) that focus on storytelling, have enough twists and turns to keep one entertained throughout, some dark details revealed in a light enough way, and a surprise ending as a pay-off. And as both writer and director, Paul Sutton keeps the ball low enough on a directorial level to let his own story shine, while choosing a strong cast (himself included) to bring his tale to life, making this really cool, properly morbid entertainment. </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2023"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
