Homewrecker

Running time: 76 mins

It’s hammer time for feminine rivalry

Homewrecker is a twisted comedy of social mores, particularly of people with a strong aversion to impoliteness. These social niceties allow psycho-stalker Linda to lure an interior designer named Michelle into her home under the pretense of a job. But as soon as we see the sledgehammer mounted on her wall like a piece of art, we know there will be blood. The focus soon shifts from manners to obsessions, as having a drink before noon turns into a kidnapping, and Linda’s true motives are revealed in a twist that sets off a cascade of comic violence.— Nick Coleman
