Genre giants RKSS (Turbo Kid, SFF 2015) return to FMO with a supreme slasher. Gen Z activists become the prey after breaking into a homeware megastore. This one delivers.
It’s not that easy to find super stylish, gloriously gory and wickedly inventive slasher pics these days. Luckily, the crack Canadian filmmaking trio RKSS is here to satisfy that urge with a thoroughly modern riff on the Most Dangerous Game scenario. When young environmental activists bust into an IKEA-like store, everything goes according to plan – at first. But no one ran a background check on the overnight security guard, a sweaty social misfit with rage issues and a keen interest in primitive weapons. The spirit of Jim Wynorski’s immortal Chopping Mall (1986) is alive and well here. Please do not reveal the ending!
