A same-sex couple move to a small town so they can enjoy a better quality of life and raise their 16 year-old daughter with the best social values. But nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighbourhood. And when Malik sees the folks next door throwing a very strange party, something very shocking has got to give.
An atmospheric, slow-burn thriller with some very current themes, 'Spiral' leans a little too heavily on both its cinematic influences and cheap “boo“ scares. It also doesn't take a genius to see how all of this will end. But the strong craftsmanship in front of and behind the camera keep the journey interesting, and when everything comes together, it does so with such jarring intensity that by the time the audience finally regains its footing, we've reached the final scene of the film.
