CGiii Comment

What nasty, spiteful little fillies they are!

Cory Finley teases the humour out of the macabre...in what can only be called a deft little [ice-cold] chiller. That percussive soundtrack sounds like nails being dragged down a blackboard...cacophonous as it is, it works so well!

Olivia Cook steals the show..with her deadpan delivery...competently supported by each and all. The twists come aplenty...if it were a book, it would be a page-turner. Rest assured, Thoroughbreds will make sure you don't sit comfortably in your chair...especially if you are a parent!

Just one little complaint...without the final [unnecessary] scene, it would have been even more chilling than its hypothermic whole. Less is more.

Definitely, an unpleasant delight!
