It’s the feminist answer to The Purge

Love horror films, but feel like women are seldom given much agency in them? Look no further, as the four badass teenagers targeted by the mob hysteria of the town fight back with all the fury of young women taking full control of their identities.

It’s the perfect cathartic release if you’re angry about American politics

Feeling more and more depressed and disillusioned with every consecutive news cycle about the American president? Assassination Nation takes all those feelings of helplessness and anger at the hypocrisy and lack of empathy of recent political events, and channels them through this stylish and gory morality tale that will leave you feeling shocked but empowered. Grab your mates and your red macs and get your voices heard!
