Coming home in the dark (2 Stars)


This is the 19th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

Hoaggie and Jill are a married couple, both school teachers. They're having a picnic with their two teenage sons in an isolated spot surrounded by the mountains of New Zealand. They're interrupted by two armed men who rob them. The men shoot the two boys dead, then take the couple on a car ride.

The film doesn't make sense. The men say that they want revenge on Hoaggie for things that happened when he was their teacher, but they insist that the attack wasn't planned. It was just a random meeting. The brutality of the two men is senseless.
