The concept of this movie is "horror movie porn in 1979" and yeah... that's what it is!
It's possible to do a classy dirty picture... well, that's what the group of filmmakers are wanting to prove as they head out to stay at a farm and shoot a picture. However, (there's always a however,) the old man and his wife get roused up them young peoples flaunting themselves, and they want to feel that.
And this is a love movie. A love movie where people go about killing others, but hey, the things you do for love right?
And that is one big problem with this movie. Is it a message about porn and horror? Porn and love? Love and horror? I'm fairly sure this movie is wanting to make a message about that somewhere in there, but I'm not entirely sure what it is, or even if it is clearly expressed. It really feels bitsy as it goes about its scenes.
But hey, quite a few names here, including our own Martin Henderson. Indeed, it seems this film was shot in New Zealand, although I'm not sure where. Certainly the NZ Film Commission is thanked a lot (as well as Kickstarter backers?), and it looks like there is now a sequel/prequel happening. (That's what happens when you are stuck in quarantine and your lead actress is playing two parts.)
A wee film that I'm sure will be a success, but... it feels more aspirational than complete.
