TIFF Day 4

Today's film was Acolytes, by Jon Hewitt. Set in Brisbane, Australia, the film follows what happens when three teens find a body in the woods. After attempting to use the discovery to their advantage, they soon find themselves in far over their heads.

Shot in a gritty, grainy style, the film has some good stylistic moments. Good use of locations is also apparent, with many shots in a decidely creepy wooded area. Overall, an entertaining, scary, and satisfying film
7/10
