This looks amazing. Like the type of horror film you really want to see. Something utterly bizarre but horrifically simple as well. (Don't be fooled by the DVD cover because it's nothing like that). A group of friends all gather together for a meal. The host Angela is mentally unstable and adamant that tonight she will be ending her life. She also believes that her boyfriend (who is about to leave her for someone else) is equally keen to die. She thinks that she can have a farewell dinner with all her favourite people and decides to let drop the reason for the party as she invites everyone.
For one, this is an absurd idea, as who in their right mind would want to sit back and watch either a double suicide or a suicide/murder pact take place in front of their chicken chow mein?
Secondly, Angela's best friend Maddie, seems totally oblivious to the fact that her pal may be dead by the morning, and rushes out eagerly to buy some more heroin for her so that 'she will have enough for the both of them.'
Arthouse cinema is correct, but classy it is not. It's unique, but that's as far as it goes, and the whole thing sort of melts into a bit of a despicable mess after about 1 hour.
