(2011)

Not my usual cup of tea, but this one is done well and has some surprises. A group of people are gathered together in a house in the country, when suddenly a crossbow bolt comes through the window and kills one of them. Before they know it they are under attack by a gang of apparent psychopaths wearing animal masks. But all is not what it seems. I won’t give away the secret that is revealed about halfway through, but I will say that one of the potential victims, a woman named Erin, was raised by a paranoid survivalist and knows every nasty trick in the book. She soon is turning the tables on the killers, though not without cost. Silly fun, but I enjoyed it.
