Alex (Natalie Brown) and her problem child daughter Nicole (Lola Flanery) have moved to a new town to get over the death of Alex’s husband (and Nicole’s father). Nicole is also — was also? — a famous social media influencer who ended up with a bad drug habit in the wake of that tragedy and needs to be watched like a hawk by her mother.

Then, as you can tell by the images of the poster, this turns Spirit store Eyes Wide Shut and a bit giallo as there’s a secret party in this town that determines who will be rich and famous. Everyone’s dying to get in, everyone wears masks and somehow, it all ties to the real reason that Alex has moved here: the bridge that cost her husband his life that keeps claiming innocent people with the reason supposedly being that everyone who dies there is a suicide.

It all looks much nicer than its budget suggests and yes, everyone acts like a moron and gets in way over their heads, but isn’t that what movies like this are made for?

Directed by Monika Mitchell (Deadly Midwife) and written by Miriam Lyapin and Helen Marsh (who wrote Festival of the Living Dead as a team), this is certainly much better than Lyapin and Marsh’s zombie failure. I’m all for more of Mitchell’s films, as they have no issue with being absurd and I use that word with the best possible feelings.
