The Snowtown Murders
Directed by Justin Kurzel
A disturbed serial killer enlists his girlfriend's son to help murder his victims in this disturbing film based on a series of killings discovered in Australia in 1999. When Elizabeth takes up with a new man, she winds up welcoming a vicious predator into her home: John Bunting, the moral compass of a self-appointed neighborhood watch who orders his crew to carry out acts of sadistic, homophobic vigilantism on those he considers deviants, and in the process takes Elizabeth's son Jamie under his wing. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Cannes' Critics Week.

this is a good watch, very well acted but disturbing as hell.
The acting is good but it is terribly boring
the story is intense but its extremely well done
Meh. I guess the idea of murder is scary, the idea of being murdered is scary, and the idea of a normal looking guy being so manipulative is scary, but I just didn't see good writing here. I don't so much mind torture porn horror and that's what this was to me, it just felt lackluster. I've seen better.
great movie
