Snowdance Independent Film Festival. I really was willing to cut this one some slack first. Essentially, this is your basic "murder coverup" thriller taking cues from the likes of the Coens' Fargo, Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan and Fritz Lang's The Woman In The Window, all the while being lacking in subtlety, drawing its characters often clumsily in too broad strokes, conveyed by just-about-good-enough, somewhat soapy performances. But as a thriller it's fairly effective, successful at building suspense. It's the ending and the problematic messages it conveys where the film lost whatever goodwill i had for it as, after spending eighty minutes establishing one of the most pathetic, toxic please-punch-me-in-the-face male douchbag protagonists ever, we get served a plot twist that's just as pretictable as it's ill-advised. Because, you know... actually the real murderer was one of the women all along, pinning the crime on douchebag asshole. So basically, we're doing another Gone Girl in the post-metoo era which i find beyond insensitive, repulsive and tasteless. Finally, more of a nitpick but one of the most persistent occurences of snowdance makes another appearance here: Jerky "Oops wrong frame rate" drone footage capable of making any half-decent indie flick look cheap! This just bugs me. I'm not a filmmaker by any stretch of the imagination but even i know about this issue, how to avoid or mitigate it and so should actual filmmakers.
