6 friends drive down to a secluded cabin in the woods after being estranged since their involvement in a self-defense murder. As the night goes on, they all start to admit to seeing visions of this long-dead rapist/attacker and believe he's returned to kill them off. Is he a spirit? A demon? Or has one of them maybe lost their mind and turned to killing their friends?
The 6th Friend is a beautifully shot and reasonably well made slasher film with an all female cast (minus the attacker) that might suffer from a few bad lines of dialogue, a couple of uninspired performances, and an almost total lack of tension, but it's not without its positives.
It does try to bring in a psychological and/or supernatural aspect into the film which keeps the audience on their toes and it's nice to see a movie about a bunch of women who stick up for one another. Once the killer is revealed, The 6th Friend ends on an exciting and swelling high note.
The 6th Friend might not be the most inspired indie slasher film on the block, but there's enough to recommend about it to give it a try.
