Caitlin (daughter of David) Cronenberg's directorial debut plays out a little like The Purge meets Sophie's Choice. In the future, due to dwindling resources and overpopulation, the government has implemented a euthanasia program that offers financial perks to the kin of those willing to sacrifice themselves. When a family member volunteers, then changes their mind at the last minute, the collection agency requires a body and forces them to choose a replacement. Under penalty of death, the family turns on one another.
A home invasion thriller where the killer is coming from inside the house. This movie feels like a familiar mish-mash of other genre films, but the darkly comic elements keep it from getting too stale.
