Tribeca 2017: Hounds of Love
by Jason Adams
Even people who profess to like horror movies don’t always like it when horror movies make them really uncomfortable. It’s why you see F grade Cinema-scores for truly disturbing flicks like Wolf Creek - we want to be scared in a fun way, but we don’t want to waltz with actual despair. There’s a scene in Wes Craven’s Last House on the Left that made me feel so awful it still haunts me to this day.
Hounds of Love, the first film from Aussie director Ben Young, waltzes with such awfulness, and might just announce a real talent a la Craven too...
