Next of Kin (1982)
7/10
Underappreciated Aussie Thriller
14 November 2021
Linda returns home after her mother's death to look after the nursing home she ran out of her home and sees that the home's tenants are being murdered one by one. Who could be behind these brutal crimes and is Linda in danger?

Next of Kin does brooding atmosphere really well and many shots and sequences are nothing short of exceptional, but the pacing does dip a bit and the central mystery isn't quite as compelling as it should be which causes the film to drag more than it should. By the crazy finale, most of these faults will be forgiven as the film goes off the rails and delivers a whammy of a final act.
