Two sisters (Lizzy Caplan & Lucy DeVito) with a contentious relationship decide to rob a rural home in upstate New York. The simple robbery turns into a nightmare when one of them throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. The night spirals out of control as they embark on a painful journey to make it out before the homeowner returns.
Written and directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer in their feature debut, DRAG takes an elegantly simple premise and keeps tightening the screws, sending its bickering sisters down an increasingly dark, violent and unpredictable rabbit hole. Caplan and DeVito make a magnificently dysfunctional pairing, joined by Christine Ko and a spectacularly against-type John Stamos, who spends an appreciable amount of the film dancing around in his underwear - and occasionally even less.
Fresh from a festival run encompassing SXSW, Overlook, BIFAN, Fantasia and FrightFest - and picking up Best Film at Popcorn Frights along the way - DRAG is a viciously funny and wholly unpredictable thriller where a bad back is merely the beginning of a very, very bad day.
