Overview
Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

Viewing Notes
A little more pedestrian than I was expecting but it was definitely unsettling and anchored by great performances. Weird seeing it in a theater with an all-white audience; one middle-aged couple walked out in the middle of the film. Seeing the casual racism of middle class white America depicted on screen might’ve hit a little too close to home for them.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I really enjoyed the symbolism of the weapons Chris chooses to use to kill his antagonists, symbols of white upper class America: a cricket ball and a stuffed trophy deer’s antlers were both excellent choices.
