Mediocre Aussie feminist reality Tv horror show movie - The Furies review by PV
This is a very silly, grand guignol gory, horror with a feminist angle which just does not work.
It is almost like a reality TV death game, done several times before in novels and films (Rasmus - a Television Tale, the Running Man, Death Race 2000, the Hunger games, Jurassic Games etc) and now TV hit Squid Game.
That works OK but the agenda here is a feminist one, or even a misandrist one - men referred to as monsters and all wearing ugly hideous pic/baby/monster masks - can you see what it is yet, this clunky symbolism? All men are monsters etc etc who prey on women who are always victims, which is in fact misogyny too really).
That makes the film silly - and needlessly political. It could be young women and men being chased, by men a nd women. That'd be more interesting. As in recent horror ALIVE! (2018).
Wolf Creek also springs to mind, which is way better than this - a movie which got me rolling my eyes more than once.
Nice nasty gory horror effects, i suppose, if that is your thing. 2 stars.
