Layered conflicts mount as this lean film treks on, and they're not limited to gender politics.

Black Rock isn't going to become the sort of classic that "Deliverance" was, but if you like your scares smart, and like them to happen to people you actually care about, then Aselton's island of friendship and fury is a nice place to visit.

The story and its violence are deeply silly, but there's something nervy and upsetting that distinguishes the film's incidental excitement.
