Storyline

After losing her job and imploding her latest dysfunctional relationship, Olive (Amanda Crew) flees the city for the weekend, escaping to the countryside for some peace and self-reflection. She rents an ornate country house from an eccentric widower named Harvey (Robert Patrick). Soon two generations collide with terrifying results as Olive awakens Harvey's homicidal tendencies and is plunged into a blood-soaked fight for her life. More than your average slasher film, TONE-DEAF provides a dark critique of the bizarre cultural and political climate that currently exists.

Dont bother

OMG I cannot begin to explain the faults with this film. But I will.....The random white room, blue men / women cut scenes make no sense. The acting is OK but the story so floored that you keep asking yourself 'Why would you do that?' The main character is a miss-match of all that is wrong with this generation, while the killer is so unbelievably unbelievable he is a joke. The ending was predicable with a few two star laughs thrown in. Avoid.
