After killing a former classmate, two young men host a dinner party for his family and friends, hiding the body nearby. Their confidence begins to falter as conversation, suspicion, and an unexpected guest turn the gathering into a tense test of their perfect-crime theory.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy contained psychological suspense, moral debates, and theatrical storytelling like Dial M for Murder; Not for you if you need fast pacing, mystery-driven surprises, or deeply developed side characters.
