The Furies Movie Review
Kidnapped women awaken to find themselves in a vast wilderness, where they are hunted by masked men. Our lead character is Kayla (Airlie Dodds), a woman we see get into a spat with her good friend Maddie (Ebony Vagulans) just prior to the kidnapping. Once she awakens, Kayla is on a mission to not only stay alive, but also to rescue her pal. Australia brings us this 2019 slasher flick that combines a fairly unique plot with an absolute ton of gore...and lots of cool masks.

"Don't forget me!"
The kills come early and often, and they are certainly the most interesting aspect of the film. From slit throats to exploding heads to a grotesque scene of a woman having her face removed with an axe, the movie goes to the extreme with the bloodshed. The story catches your attention initially, but as it unfolds, and becomes more convoluted, your attention may wander. The acting doesn't earn the movie any points, though Dodds does a fair job. The fate of Maddie may be something you don't see coming--spending a bit more time with the character at the start of the film would have made this moment more effective. Unfortunately, the ending leaves much to be desired as well. The Furies isn't a great movie, but it is different enough to leave an impression, and makes for a good choice if you are seeking out a bloodbath.
