The plot: Five ballerinas find themselves in a fight for their lives when they seek shelter at a mysterious roadside inn that’s run by a former ballet prodigy.
This movie was surprisingly solid.
Pros: The main cast worked quite well together. I was impressed by the creative action. I find the tone was fun to get investing. Uma Thurman was fine as Devora. this one owns when to begin and when to end. and thumps up to Vicky Jewson for delivering on what this film promises.
Cons: Devora’s henchman were too one dimensional. A lot of the motivations were cliché and not that original. The climax did felt underwhelm. And the ending could have been so much more.
