Crush The Skull
Directed by Viet Nguyen
Description
On the surface, Ollie and Blair are a typical fun, young couple—comfortable enough to be constantly picking at each other’s flaws, secure enough to start making long-term plans together. They just happen to earn a dishonest living by breaking into poorly secured, upper-class homes. After falling into debt when their last job goes horribly awry, they find themselves having to pull one more last job. But the “easy target”—the B&E of a secluded vacation home in the mountains—turns out to be anything but easy when they discover they’ve inadvertently broken into the lair of a deranged serial killer. And there’s no way to break back out.
