Suburban Mayhem
(2006)

I loved it!
This film is a great roller-coaster ride from start to finish - starting out as a black comedy and becoming more and more dark towards the end.

It's because Katrina has no redeeming features and no moral boundaries that makes this film such a great watch. She will literally do anything to get what she wants, and we can only watch in amazement as she succeeds! Just like the film, she's brash, cocky, sexy, and very entertaining - a brilliant central character who Emily Barclay plays perfectly. You watch in disbelief as she calmly gets away with everything. I know it doesn't have the highest production values in the world but the way it's shot, through a series of real time interviews and flashbacks, gives the movie an energy that is lacking in so many films today.

There are so many unanswered questions that leave you thinking about the film long after you've seen it - why is Katrina so driven and so unrepentant of her actions? What exactly is the relationship with her brother? etc. Everyone in the film has their opinion and all of them are different. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again.
