WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1980s suburban Perth, Australia, teenager Vicki Maloney (Cummings) is abducted and held prisoner by serial killer couple Evelyn (Booth) and John White (Curry). As Vicki observes the dysfunctional relationship between her two captors, she realises that the only way to escape might be to warp their already disturbed opinions of each other to her benefit…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
