“It begins with a shriek...it ends with a shot!”

ThrillerCrimeDrama

Two young men attempt to prove they committed the perfect murder by hosting a dinner party for the family of a classmate they just strangled to death.

VIBE

This film is a masterclass in sustained, claustrophobic tension. It feels like a chilling intellectual exercise, where the air is thick with unspoken dread and arrogant superiority. The continuous shot immerses you in a suffocating, high-stakes game of cat and mouse, making for an unsettling and thought-provoking experience.
