The synopsis leaves open every door to chills, mystery and dark pleasure: “Irene Kelly is a woman who, in an attempt to avenge the death of her daughter, travels through different realities to kill the murderer time and time again. Her obsession with revenge soon becomes an addiction”. Directed by the brothers Kevin and Matthew McManus, and starring their sister Michaela, with a production company whose name revives memories of outer space where no one can hear you scream, Mothership, this is a hugely powerful science fiction thriller and a somewhat innocent but twisted tale of revenge across the multiverse, leaving the soul on edge and the body ecstatically trembling. There is a hint of (with apologies) buddy movie (female) and also (with apologies) road movie.
