Construcción decente de paranoia-tensión mediante el reconocimiento de personajes por conversación, perturbado por situaciones tensas ocasionales. Una versión agradablemente sofisticada, menos convencional y más inteligente de la famosa The Purge. La noche de las bestias.

Simply put, a perfect and incredibly stylish psycho-thriller that masterfully generates an unpleasant sensation of uncertainty on the viewer, and in the same manner plays with the mind of the main character, Will, who together with his new girlfriend, is invited to a party at the place of his ex-girlfriend and her new husband. The evening is also attended by other old friends, and the air smells weird from the very beginning. I can’t remember when was the last time I saw such superbly escalating paranoia. For most of the film, it isn’t clear who’s crazy – whether the hosts or the guests – or whether it isn’t just an unfortunate misunderstanding by both parts. All are realistic scenarios and all of them would be fitting to the genre category. And Karyn Kusama holds everything so firmly in her hands that the viewer can only rejoice. The climax is sharp as a barber’s blade and the last shot is the cherry on top.

An interesting film that leaves no doubt that there is something evil among people. It is good from a psychological perspective, in which this film excels. The premise itself is not original, but the way everything goes wrong and what happens is good. However, the film failed to impress me. It is good, but not exceptional for me.
