BIRDEATER

AUSTRALIA | 2023 | COLOR | DCP | 115’ | ENGLISH

A cunning combination of mystery film and drama where nothing is as it seems. A young couple is about to get married; he is sweet and protective, she is vulnerable and clearly emotionally dependent on him - something resolved most controversially. The girl agrees to attend the bachelor party the boy is planning with his childhood friends in a remote country location, where an evening of abuse will drive everything out of control. The film slowly builds pace only to derail into a paroxysmal trip, a nocturnal nightmare at the end of which nothing will evolve expectedly. A horror film? Assuming the greatest horror is the person standing next to you, most definitely.
