After her husband has killed a little girl, Kate (Lora Burke) has moved
to the middle of nowhere with her daughter Beth (Tessa Kozma) to start
afresh, and them two being placed in the witness protection program should
see to it that their past doesn't catch up with them. Thing is, Beth
doesn't like her new hometown much, she doesn't understand why her dad
isn't around anymore, and why her mum tries to erase his memory from their
home, and she also doesn't approve of Hal (Colin Paradine), the local
sheriff who seems to have taken a personal interest in Kate - and vice
versa. Then one night, a young couple breaks into Kate and Beth's home,
and not just any couple but Mary (Kristen MacCulloch) and Lewis (Nick
Smyth), the parents of the girl Kate's husband has killed, and they're
sure Kate has set up her husband to take the blame for their daughter's
death, and now want the truth for closure - and if Kate doesn't tell them
the truth (the "truth" they want to hear that is), they'll use
torture to make her talk. However, Kate talking, rather than bringing
desired closure, only sets things in motion that lead straight to disaster
... A very tight thriller of the home invasion variety, and one
that keeps a very healthy balance between suspense and the more visceral
moments the story demands, all the while twisting and turning on a story
level without giving the plot twist in the finale away, even if in
hindsight the ending perfectly explains everything that has happened
before, and why. And a strong and relatable ensemble and a slick
directorial effort make this very cool genre entertainment indeed.
