No Right Turn
A haunting fairy-tale thriller set between snowy landscapes and a neon city. A KINKY SLICE OF PULP-SATIRE! The film is laced with pitch black humor - and doesn't take itself too seriously - you shouldn't either - nods and winks to many previous pulp/exploitation thrillers of yesteryear - and yes there is some very naughty sex scenes - MOVIE IS NOT FOR KIDS! When Monella by chance saves Nina from being raped their lives take an unexpected turn. They begin a passionate love affair and together they begin to plan how to steal Nina's boyfriend's drug money . Unfortunately , nothing goes as planned and suddenly everyone is in the midst of a dark tangle of revenge and betrayal ... Cinetrange Magazine: "A curious European blend of David Lynch, John Dahl and Quentin Tarantino." MJ Simpson: "A clever, tightly honed script combines with assured direction and a central quartet of excellent performances make No Right Turn a real joy to watch."
