Owl

2003 · 119 min

A wry, grimly funny descent into rural desperation where murder becomes mundane and oddly celebratory.

Overview: A mother and daughter are stranded in small, isolated cabin, and are starving to death. In order to survive, they plan to entice men that happen to stray to their cabin with sex, and kill them. All goes well until a local cop shows up and, then, an old relation.
How it feels: Dark, absurd, satirical and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Survival, crime, greed, isolation
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
