The Furies (2019) is an Australian horror film written and directed by Tony D’Aquino. The movie combines slasher elements with a unique survival concept, delivering a tense and b.l.o.o.d.y s.t.o.r.y.
The film follows Kayla (Airlie Dodds), a young woman who is kidnapped and wakes up in a remote forest. There, she discovers that she is one of several women forced to participate in a horrifying survival game. Masked k.i.l.l.e.rs, each with their own unique style of murder, are tasked with hunting down the victims in this deadly contest.
Kayla quickly realizes that this game isnโt just random carnage but is orchestrated by a mysterious group through a surveillance system. Each k.i.l.l.er appears to have a “protected victim” among the women, creating a strange connection: they defend their assigned victim while being ready to k.i.l.l anyone else.
In her fight to survive, Kayla must overcome her fears, find ways to outwit the k.i.l.l.ers, and uncover the truth behind this terrifying game.
The film premiered at horror film festivals and quickly gained attention for its original concept and striking visual style. The Furies received positive feedback from horror fans, although some critics noted that the storyline lacked depth in certain areas.
