Why tonight?
- Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
- It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.
- Reviewed better than most films in the catalogue.
The story
Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.
