As a native Folkestonian, I remember seeing this being filmed back in 2016 (it actually just popped up on my Facebook memories this morning). I'd never found anywhere to view it until today, 7 years later, on a US only streaming site, where I needed a VPN to view it.
Quite why this film has been hidden away from UK viewers I've no idea. Had I not been from the town it was filmed in I never would have known of its existence. What is the point of making a movie if you don't let anyone see it?
The film is good, and dark, and it kept me interested throughout. It does not go in for any explanations however, leaving the viewer to decide for themselves what caused the lives of Janet, her daughters Violet and Rose, granddaughter Lily (Rose's daughter), and partner Jeff to pan out the way they did.
My conclusions were that unbeknownst to Janet & Violet, Jeff was the father of Lily, not the step-grandfather. Violet even accused her sister of sleeping with her (Violet's boyfriend, Conor). Jeff tried to do away with Rose by forcing her to write a goodbye letter to her mother and have her leave the baby with himself and Janet to raise. Then he is shown throwing her off a cliff, which she somehow survives. When Rose returns, after living in a tent on the beach for 8 years, along with her Predator-esque "shoulder demon" (at least that's how I saw him), all sorts of chaos kicks off, and even a massive human poo is left on the roof of Jeff's car!
Rose eventually gets her revenge, or so we assume when we see her drugging her mother, sister and Jeff. She drags Jeff into the kitchen were she undoes his trousers and takes a big knife to his man parts before dialling 999 and leaving the house. You don't see the chopping off, nor the aftermath as the films ends with the sound of distant sirens and Rose seemingly returning to the beach.
