Bravo. A little too close to home huh boys? I'm glad I watched this and ignored the negative reviews- I imagine many reviewers identify with nice guy character Hap. Here's the thing most women figure out about these kinds of self proclaimed "nice guys"- it's a facade. Neatly and methodically dismantled by writer/ director Neil LaBute as Hap himself is.
Excellent dialogue, brilliant casting and acting. Up there with The Love Witch and Promising Young Woman (amongst others) in the realm of female revenge/ horror. I'm not sure what people were expecting- a twist at the end where he survives? The point is you know exactly what's going to happen to him. What we're watching is Hap's unfettered male privilege keep him from even considering a woman might not be the prey in this situation but a very dangerous predator. Despite the numerous and bloody red flags.
