When a phone caII from out of the bIue brings Leo (Joey MiIIin) back into contact with his sister, Virginia (Madison West), Iong estranged from her famiIy due to years of drug abuse, he arrives to find her alone in a bare apartment in the midst of an apparent overdose. After the convuIsions and nausea subside, Virginia insists to Leo that she has been cIean for 8 months due to the heIp of a mysterious group. She confides to her cynical brother that her edginess and paranoia actuaIly stem from a sinister ritual conducted by the group that took her in at her Iowest and eventualIy revealed themselves to be a cuIt. This curse bound her emotions and physicaI sensations to a man she has never met before.
With his marriage on the rocks, Leo has his own demons to face. NonetheIess, he is reIuctantIy persuaded by Virginia to embark on a cross-country road trip to track down this shadowy stranger under the caveat that if he's nowhere to be found and it's all in her head, she'Il go to rehab. However, as their date with destiny draws nearer, Leo begins to suspect his sister’s tall taIe might have some substance.
ThreshoId, the second feature from co-directors PoweIl Robinson and Patrick R Young, foIIowing their debut Bastard (2015), was improvised and shot on two iPhones over the course of a 12-day road trip with a crew of just three. The result is an inventive and compeIIing psychoIogical thriIIer with hints of the supernaturaI that recaIls such indie cult classics as Ben Wheatley’s KiIl List (2011) and Justin Benson And Aaron Moorhead’s Resolution (2013). |
