Like accidently dropping your phone down a well, this is depressing yet frustrating and reaches some depths.
This strong feature directorial debut by Kiwi James Ashcroft takes a turn for the worse when it becomes obvious the strangers who accost the family picnicking in the middle of New Zealand nowhere are not there by accident. Or are they?
Coming Home in the Dark is torture porn reminiscent of Eden Lake and the Hitcher, though suffers from some ambiguity in the story and some WTFery in the action.
Still, the movie moves along at a good place and the actors (especially Daniel Gillies as Mandrake) deliver, so the film ends with a cop out but ends up as a recommend.
