CriticsCritics: 65
AudienceAudience: 5.6

Two teenage friends leave home for a concert and become trapped by a violent group of escaped criminals after trying to obtain drugs. When the criminals later seek shelter at one girl's family home, her parents face a devastating discovery and struggle with what to do next.

My take

You may appreciate this if you want raw, highly disturbing exploitation horror with a grim revenge angle; Not for you if you prefer polished scares, consistent tone, or restrained violence.
