‘Screwdriver’ review: Dir. Cairo Smith [Digital]
The Hollywood News Run by film fans for film fans! The Hollywood News In Screwdriver, the first-time feature length film from writer and director Cairo Smith, a recently divorced woman, finds herself trapped in an ever increasingly dangerous situation. Emily (AnnaClare Hicks) is grieving the loss of her marriage when she is invited to catch up with an old friend, Robert (Charlie Farrell). Seeing how much Emily is struggling, Robert insists that Emily stay with him and his wife Melissa (Milly Sanders) for a few days. From the outset it is clear that all is not well in the house, but the longer Emily stays, the weirder events become.Screwdriver is a tightly wound thriller that explores coercive control in a very clever way.
