Andrew, a delusional loner who wants to kill all white men in Massachusetts, returns to his hometown in the wake of family tragedy and goes on a murderous rampage.
“…a gripping, hard-hitting psychothriller with the grimy, realistic edge of John McNaughton’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.” – CinemaSpection
“It plays like a horrific dream during which you’re just following this one person the entire time and you don’t want to keep learning these terrible things about them, but you can’t wake up. Lead actor Jimmy Laine, who plays that brooding and delusional loner named Andrew, was the glue that made the concept stick. His performance is heightened and effective, bringing you along with him on this spiral. It’s hard to take your eyes off him. If you’re looking for an underseen (and bizarre) gem from 2021, this is it.” – Lex Briscuto, Dread Central
“No redeeming qualities to this one IMO. A large portion of the movie is the lead making anguished faces while nothing happens. Felt like it had nowhere to go and nothing to say along the way.” – Adam Vass, Letterboxd user
