Rebellious high school students Kayla (Airlie Dodd) and her best friend Maddie (Ebony Vagulans) who find themselves abducted by a sinister presence. Kayla wakes up in a box in the middle of a forest with no idea how she got there and no idea of Maddie's whereabouts. She soon realises she is not alone - men in terrifying masks are stalking six other young women in the woods. As the threat of more killers closes in, Kayla races to save as many girls as she can. But when the girls turn on each other, Kayla's killer instinct is unleashed and she does whatever it takes to survive and seek revenge on her abductors. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Egy ausztrál vágóhíd, ismerős, csak kissé megváltozott témával. Feleslegesen eltúlzott öncélú brutalitás, olcsó munka a karakterek viselkedésével és az ebből adódó, látszólag meglepő fordulatokkal. Úgy tűnik, mintha a filmkészítők nem tudták volna, hogy még egy slasher horrorfilm is intelligens munkát igényel a nézővel.

A battle royale with references to slashers of the last century, it pretty much delivers on the level it promised. I mean, perfect gore, excellent make-up effects, the creators won me over in this respect, but the rest falls flat. The actresses are unfortunately terrible, the visuals look cheap and the final twist is a rip-off to more famous horror movies. Thus, I recommend it only for gore fans, everyone else can ignore it. 60%

If you like bloody carnage in the popular setting of a remote forest and all you need is a mindless showcase of stabbing tools and deaths, you will surely enjoy The Furies. But if you believe that horror creators should know how to work with the viewer, pinpoint the tension, creatively alter the shape of the scenes and escalate the events, then don’t expect much. Although I am a fan of this kind of enthusiast work and appreciate every new idea, this Australian attempt is only halfway between a loose violent ride and dark horror, where the relationships among the characters and a personal revenge are also at stake. That said, for underground horror festivals or a night screening over a beer, Furies is alright. Strong 2*.

The Australian co-production The Furies is an interesting example of how to make a great slasher movie in terms of the kills and their depiction and imagination. However, the story is a real bummer as it is really bloated, which presents a bit of a problem. It is as if the attempt at originality here has gone completely awry. It just does not work, and I am sure it will be a disappointment for many viewers.
