Bystanders (2024)

Abby (Brandi Botkin) and her friends Jade (Erica Dodt) and Brie (Callie Kirk) were just going to a frat party in the woods at the cabin of Abby’s crush Cody (Bob Wilcox) when they ended up getting drugged. She wakes up just in time to escape whatever the men have planned and is picked up by Clare (Jamie Alvey) and Gray (Garrett Murphy), who are more than just a friendly couple. By movie fate, they’re killing machines who hunt rapists.

This starts with a somewhat boring opening and some bad acting, but if you can stay with it, it ends up being pretty interesting. It’s the first movie by director Mary Beth McAndrews and it was written by Alvey.

The frat guys—Cody, Travis (Zach Hurley), Brad (Deaton Gabbard) and Jacob (John Conners)—were going to roofie, assault and play the Most Dangerous Game with these girls. Too bad for them. That’s pretty much the whole movie, and if you like the idea, you’ll probably enjoy this. Just let it play out.

You can watch this on Tubi.
