Seen recently at the Dundee Theatre (still musty, still open)
Creepy. But I'm not buying it.
A note to any relative of mine who may be reading this - if I ever call you, hysterical, not quite sure which U.S. state I'm in after having gone AWOL for two years, please come and get me and take me to a hospital immediately or, at the very least, to your family physician.
People who are as disturbed as the lovely Elizabeth Olsen (Martha) need medical attention, not one of your dresses so they look like they belong when you throw a little gathering for friends at your tony weekend retreat.
If you can get past the plot faults, which is difficult to do upon reflection, the acting is on target. John Hawkes (Patrick) of Winter's Bone fame (how do you forget a character like Teardrop?) makes you squirm in your seat. And Olsen looks like she has a promising career ahead of her - Mary Kate and Ashley should leave the acting to their little sister.
Bonus Bones: 0
No hounds - perhaps they're too instinctual to be lured into cult life.
