Review of Kristy (2014) by Jason L — 17 Oct 2014
Another BFI film I caught last night sees Olly Blackburn (Donkey Punch) take on a 'The Strangers' meets 'Them' meets 'The Purge' type script with fairly pleasant results. Ashley Greene is barely recognizable as the leader of a group of killers who are part of a what appears to a country wide cult and their mission is to target and kill so called KRISTY'S. And they find their KRISTY in Justine (played by Haley Bennett- The equalizer, The hole, The haunting of Molly Hartley) and begin to turn her Thanks giving alone on college campus into a nightmare. Its a fairly straight forward home invasion-esque film which is only really believable by the performance by Haley Bennett who is very much the 'innocent girl' who is pushed to the edge and decides she's not going to take it anymore.
Its by no means a "ground breaker" but I have seen the subject tackled in other films a lot worse than this before.
