To watch her play both sides of that fence at the same time was something special. While Stephen Curry plays creepy extremely well here, it's Emma Booth who turns in turns in the truly brilliant performance here as the browbeaten wife of a sadistic monster who helps him torture and rape young girls, but who also struggles with the knowledge that what they're doing is wrong. Ben Young could have easily gone the exploitative route with this one, but he instead opts for the less-is-more method when it comes to visualizing the film's nastier elements, which honestly made it play far more grimy and sinister. Unlike most of those kinds of movies however, Hounds of Love takes a more restrained approach. Based on the story of real-life story of David and Catherine Birnie (read about it HERE), everything here feels real, in a very dirty, uncomfortable sort of way. Like most movies that involve sadistic people doing horrific things to young girls, Hounds of Love is genuinely disturbing to behold. While Vicki does her best to survive her ordeal and find a way out, her loved ones are madly searching for her, which seems hopeless. which she's never going to show up for.Ĭhained to a bed in a dingy room, Vicki is subjected to sexual assault and all means of degrading things at the hands of John, while Evelyn enables his depravity, and washes off the bloody dildos. Since she really likes weed, she agrees to go back to their house and score before meeting her boyfriend at the party. When she sneaks out of her window to go to a party, she runs across John and Evelyn, who offer her some weed.

Vicki is a young girl who is dealing with separated parents who plan on divorcing, as well as the everyday stresses of teenage life. They're a serial-killing couple who enjoys stalking young girls, and taking them home to 'play with', and eventually kill. In 1980's era Perth, Australia, John and Evelyn watch a group of young schoolgirls playing netball in slow-motion, after which they give one of the girls a lift, and she's never seen again.
