As a long time fan of the horror genre, I always find it exciting when a filmmaker tries to mix up a tried and tested formula.

That is not to say all these tests work or push the genre forward, but experimentation helps keep things fresh and gives way to new, inspiring ideas. The Furies from Writer/director Tony D’Aquino takes on such a difficult task, and while it is not a total success in reinventing the formula, it a blast to watch thanks to some fantastic effects and concepts.

Taking notes right from Predators (2010) playbook, the Furies follows a series of women as they are kidnapped and dropped into an old mining camp and forced to fight for their lives. The film focuses on Kayla (Airlie Dodds), a young woman who suffers from epileptic episodes, who, despite her best efforts, is viewed as a burden on her friends. As she wakes up in an odd, black coffin in the middle of the woods after being abducted, we get a sense of how alone, isolated and scared she truly is. Yet, with a drive to save her friend Maddie she struggles to uncover the truth of what is going on and survive this waking nightmare.

TAD 2019 Review: The Furies

Final Thoughts:

An ultimately shallow take on the “death game” slasher sub-genre that offers up an engaging protagonist and some great practical effect to carry the viewer through the blood-soaked 83 minutes runtime.
