MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #243

 

In 1987 Perth, Australia, John, and Evelyn White are serial killers who target teenage girls. One night, Vicki Maloney, who impetuously sneaks out of the house for a forbidden party, is lured by the pair into their clutches. Now paying dearly for her naivety, Vicki must endure a horrific nightmare of confinement and torture at the hands of this depraved pair. Against these murderers, Vicki's only chance of survival is a mix of subterfuge, cunning, and mind games while her estranged parents and her boyfriend desperately try to learn what has happened and what can be done to find her. Meanwhile, the Whites have growing problems of their own, which could provide the only hope Vicki could have to survive.

HOUNDS OF LOVE (2016) was written & directed by Ben Young and produced by Melissa Kelly. This film had me a little fearful upon watching the trailer. The film is set in the horror genre, and that is not my cup of tea. The one thing that helped me push through was the quote “BRAVE AUDIENCES WILL BE REWARDED” - Variety. Upon working through that, I set forth and stayed vigilant.

I found a fantastic looking film set in 80’s Australia with a small cast that portrayed a tense and graphic story. This film may not be for everyone due to the subject matter, so I would not recommend it. And to better inform you, here is another review on HOUNDS OF LOVE from spookyastronauts HERE. I also believe the story this film showcases is different than anything I’ve seen in this genre.

In the End: HOUNDS OF LOVE was an intriguing look at a story that we have seen before but not told in the way we are used to. So for this film, I give it 4 of 5 stars.
