A botched burglary and a single catastrophic back injury unleash a total nightmare.
A routine robbery of an isolated rural home turns into a spectacular disaster when burglar Jamie hurts her back. Trapped alongside her increasingly desperate sister, she needs to get out before the sole owner of the house returns. Pain, panic, terrible decisions and unexpected violence collide in this brutally funny home-invasion-gone-wrong.
Directors Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer turn a simple premise into eighty-six minutes of escalating pain, panic and pitch-black comedy. Actors Lizzy Caplan and Lucy DeVito sizzle as the two hopelessly outmatched sisters whose supposedly easy score becomes anything but, while John Stamos gleefully weaponises the homeowner’s wholesomeness. Produced by Danny, Lucy, and Jake DeVito, Drag balances physical comedy with shocking brutality, squeezing maximum tension from its confined location and increasingly desperate characters. An audience favourite at all the fests, this SXSW Midnighter is super lean, super nasty, super unpredictable, and super, super funny.
