Screening with BATH BOMB
Dir: Mary Beth McAndrews. Starring: Jamie Alvey, Hannah Fierman, Chaney Morrow. USA (2024) 82mins.
Abby and her friends expect an unforgettable frat party, but their night descends into a horrific nightmare when they're drugged and forced into a twisted hunt for sport. Separated from her friends, Abby must use every ounce of her instinct to survive as relentless predators track her every move. Just when hope is slipping away, a mysterious and dangerous couple appears, flipping the game on its head. With a dark agenda of their own, they turn the predators into prey in a deadly battle of vengeance. Now, Abby must decide: trust the enigmatic duo or carve out her own escape from this nightmare?
A refreshing, primal and ferally feminist take on a stale sub genre, BYSTANDERS is a rage-filled scream in the face of a society that lets perpetrators get away with bad behavior while treating survivors like nothing.
