Silas Brewster (Jacob Ryan Snovel) and his wife Priscilla (Leah N.H. Philpott) have gone beyond wanting to kill one another and saying they want to murder each other to actually doing something about it on the very same night.
This dark comedy feels more like a broad farce you’d see on stage than a movie, but I think some may enjoy how over the top that it is. Director Zachary Burns and writer Jacob Leighton Burns have put together a movie filled with the kind of coincidences and cliches that go hand in hand with a slapstick story like this, including the fact that Silas is having an affair with Lily (Michaelene Stephenson) and Priscilla is sleeping with Thomas (Clinton Kubat) and both of their new partners have teamed up to help kill their respective despised partners. Plus, the next door couple, Andy (Yousef Kazemi) and Theo (Laron M. Chapman), keep coming to visit at the worst and most dangerous moments.
If you’re looking for a fun and somewhat frothy piece of murderous marital madcappery, well, this will do quite well.
