Nevertheless, the very nature of the premise is grotesque, regardless of how much tact you approach it with. It handles this subject matter well, with a believable dynamic between leads Emma Booth and Stephen Curry. It poignantly portrays domestic abuse and the kind of conditioning that emotionally shackles people to situations that externally seem obviously bad.
HOUNDS OF LOVE PARENTS GUIDE MOVIE
The movie also justifies it's existence through it's exploration of the relationship dynamic of the killers.

There is a mastery in how they deliver this, and many of the scenes are chillingly effective. The filmmakers do understand the gravity of the circumstances and make you uncomfortable by design. The movie does go out of it's way to avoid the gore porn tag, with a lot of the violence being implied and appearing off-screen, and the tone never approaching a glorification of the situation. Even the survivor of the real life case has called out the film for needlessly drawing attention to these horrible people. Attempting to turn this kind of tragedy into a piece of entertainment puts you on shaky ground. Which is to say that I suppose every country has a similar tale that lives in local infamy, while the world at large tries to tune out how frequently these things actually happen. As a Canadian, it brought to mind the relationship between Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo, but upon researching the film, it seems it more closely shadows the case of Australian couple David and Catherine Birnie. The story is quite simple, boiling down to a murderous couple tormenting their latest victim. As she observes the dynamic between her captors she quickly realises she must drive a wedge between them if she is to survive. It's movies like this that make me question why I keep watching movies like this. In the mid 1980’s seventeen year old Vicki Maloney is randomly abducted from a suburban street by a disturbed couple.
