[ENG]

In suburban Perth during the mid 1980s, people are unaware that women are disappearing at the hands of serial killer couple John and Evelyn White. After an innocent lapse in judgment, Vicki Maloney is randomly abducted by the disturbed couple. With her murder imminent, Vicki realizes she must find a way to drive a wedge between Evelyn and John if she is to survive. Hounds of Love is an exercise in expertly-crafted tension, offering a bold, challenging debut from writer/director Ben Young.

************

The sinister side of suburbia isn’t a novel topic of contemplation in Australian cinema; as Animal Kingdom and Suburban Mayhem have proven, the danger that lurks in ordinary rows of average-looking homes is becoming as common a fascination as the menace of the outback. However, something particularly unsettling skulks beneath the sun-lit surface of thriller Hounds Of Love. Making his first feature after a string of shorts and music videos, writer/director Ben Young parlays his gripping peek at the perils waiting behind closed doors into more than just another crime-oriented effort. -Sarah Ward, Screen Daily
