This is a twist on the old Bluebeard fairy tale, which gets me every time, and a blood splattered love letter to New York. Very satisfying thriller for midweek scares, and for the young and free to see themselves on screen. I woke up next day, glad to be alive, so the film has some heart and is more than fast food cinema. Solid performances and beautiful cinematography, excellent coverage for an indie film, punching above its weight. Ms. Johnson character is suitably creepy, I don't want to see her on my next hike! Young leads do a good job surfing the highs and lows of friendship while following their hedonistic impulses. Our Officer / Detective plays a nice edge between comedy and drama. Perhaps a cautionary tale to give Airbnb the boot. Watch from the safety of home.

Kudos to Bruce Beresford for making a really great film with heart and soul. All the cast are amazing - especially Jane Fonda as the grandmother, she really pops in this one. Chase Crawford is hot and homegrown, as is the Javier Bardem - look a like - Jeffrey Dean Morgan. We'd like to see more of him. Catherine Keener is believable as the uptight attorney. I felt a little cheated that Patricia Arquette was not in more scenes, one can only surmise she hit the cutting room floor. Loved seeing the Woodstock locals and the location used as characters. I was in the story for the complete ride. Timeless story. A must see. Why is it only in one theater here in New York?
