ItвЂ™s driven by pasty school outcast Tristan (Eli Brown) and his cronies, including gormless duo Kip (Cyrus Arnold) and Chris, plus the latterвЂ™s taciturn goth sister Anna (Catherine Davis) - all regular bullying targets who proceed to open fire on their lunching peers, killing many instantly and taking the rest hostage while Zoe is inadvertently sequestered in the bathroom.

That inevitable kick comes when the aforementioned van comes crashes the windows of the school lunchroom.

Rankin revels in heavy-handed ironic telegraphing, opening one scene on a jump-scare chemical explosion in a science lab, or having one of ZoeвЂ™s classmates cheerily observe that she needs to seize the day вЂњbefore reality kicks me in the cooch.вЂќ Low moments, too, will be plentiful in the day that lies ahead, as Zoe and her secretly pining best friend Lewis (Olly Sholotan) head off to school under a veritable stormcloud of ominous signs - not least among them the sight of fellow student Chris (Britton Sear) lugging a mysterious haul from a van in a nearby field. Mom, played by Radha Mitchell in varying stages of chemotherapy makeup, appears sporadically from the beyond to offer her daughter plucky pep talks at her lowest moments: the first, yet not the worst, of the filmвЂ™s variously tacky narrative flourishes. If Zoe has become stoic around matters of death, that may have something to do with the recent passing of her mother from cancer that she and Todd seem able to bond only over recreational killing is indicative of the chilly distance in their relationship. (The location is never specified, though the film was shot on location in outer Dallas.) 17-year-old Zoe (Isabel May, from NetflixвЂ™s вЂњAlexa & KatieвЂќ) shoots a deer, but it doesnвЂ™t die instantly as her ex-military father Todd (Thomas Jane) advises her on the practicalities of mercy killing, she calmly takes a rock to the ailing beastвЂ™s skull.

The filmвЂ™s brash approach to a touchy subject might turn enough heads to net it some big-screen distribution after its festival run, but itвЂ™s likelier to cultivate an audience on VOD - where viewers will figure out pretty quickly whether theyвЂ™re compelled or repelled by RankinвЂ™s manipulation tactics.ДЄ grisly introductory scene, caked in metaphorical foreshadowing, will get sensitive viewers immediately on edge, depicting as it does a father-and-daughter hunting expedition on the rural outskirts of a small American town. For Rankin, the writer-director of such openly trashy B-movies as вЂњNight of the Living DebвЂќ and вЂњInfestation,вЂќ вЂњRun Hide FightвЂќ arrives with nominally more serious intent than the rest of his oeuvre, though thereвЂ™s little gravity or credibility to its perspective on an ongoing national crisis: Even as an immersive, sensation-based work, itвЂ™s quick to give in to gung-ho action theatrics.
