The Hounds of Love Film Review: Maybe you should never trust a man with a moustache
This is set in 1987 - Perth, Australia. Rated Cert. 18 for sustained sexual threat.
Based on a true story of the Moorehouse Murders. The themes dealt with are abduction, sex, torture, brutal domination, distress, rape and murder.
There are standout performances from Emma Booth (the wife, who is both an abductor and a victim), Stephen Curry (the O.C.D. husband, who is both a dominant figure in his household but also submissive to the men he owes money to) and particularly Ashleigh Cummings (who is the abducted teenage character).
This is not a film that you watch to particularly enjoy or be entertained by, but it's gripping and accurately shows how these things could happen!
8/10.
