Criminal lovebirds Jules (Maika Monroe) and Mickey (Bill Skarsgård) were subsidizing their road trip to Florida with petty theft when they ran out of gas, and broke into the first available house looking for cash. They'd find a young girl (Blake Baumgartner) chained in the basement-and themselves now subject to the suspect hospitality of stuck-in-the-'70s, sociopath homeowners Gloria (Kyra Sedgwick) and George (Jeffrey Donovan), in this acclaimed, blackly comic thriller.

Eine gute Besetzung, aber ein schlechtes Regie-Gefühl für Satire. Das Bösewicht-Duo ist eher lächerlich als bedrohlich und wenn es absichtlich so ist, fügt es dem Film nichts hinzu, sondern macht ihn im Gegenteil schlechter. Die Balance zwischen Spannung und schwarzem Humor ist hier nicht ausgeglichen. Der romantische „Car Wash“ mit den Haaren von Maiki Monroe ist jedoch unvergesslich, ich mache es schon auch zu Hause.

Watching Pigeon and Horsie rob the gas station while forgetting one very crucial detail, I was left scratching my head. Yet, gradually, the brain trust of Mickey and Jules grew on me until it finally clicked. I'm not entirely sure where the Drama and Thriller genres fit into this story, as it felt more like an offbeat comedy that could have used a bit more polish from the creators. The duo of villains was oddly amusing, the logic had its holes, yet it kept me entertained. And let's talk about the dynamic between the main characters — enviable, to say the least. The way they could suppress negative emotions towards each other... that's a skill I wish I had, too. / Lesson learned: Retirement in Florida must be every true American's dream. 3*-

A nice little festival thriller with the lovely Maika Monroe and the likeable Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise!). A couple of amateur thieves break into a house where two strange psychos happen to live, and getting away won't be easy. What we have here is a home invasion turned inside out, and it's rather a shame that the director didn't dare to step out of the standard. It's nicely shot, occasionally suspenseful, well acted and a couple of times pleasantly funny, but it could have done with some spicing up on both the violence and the atmosphere. In the end, just an inoffensive one-off that could have been a successor to Funny Games, but won't. 6/10.
