If people in chiller/thriller films actually watched creepy movies then they wouldn’t do the stupid things they do.

Yep, here’s a another pair who think they can repair their creaky marriage by spending time together in a strange house in the woods far from the nearest neighbour.

Out here nobody can hear you scream!

Emma (Jill Aubrey) arrives first and hubby Henry (Bart Johnson - pictured) rolls up next morning at the luxury pad where everything’s super cool, high tech and switched on, and even includes a swimming pool.

What could possible go wrong?

Everything, it seems, when they are drugged and wake up next morning to find all their clothes have been switched to those from a bygone era, perhaps the Fifties when husbands went to work and women stayed home and read magazine articles on how to keep house, and keep their man happy.

But echoes of The Stepford Wives shift into the region of the Saw franchise when the couple find the gates to the house are locked and the keys are missing.

Then a sinister voice booms from speakers demanding that they obey given orders to the letter… or else.

One thing’s clear, ‘the voice’ doesn’t get the #Me Too generation or the ideals of feminism.

Emma and Henry realise they are living in a goldfish bowl and cameras spy on their every move. Refusal to do as they are told is met with consequences.

As things get ever-moresinister hardened fans of the genre will probably guess the final twist, but the suspense doesn’t let up.
