“The Furies” (** out of four) was a heavy-handed horror thriller about a group of women (Airlie Dodds, Linda Ngo, and Taylor Ferguson) who are mauled and pursued to the death by a group of mutant backwoods rednecks which they subsequently learn is part of a deadly version of the most dangerous game. Seems directly inspired by “Wrong Turn” which in turn was directly lifted from “Deliverance” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” except this throws in unnecessary and pretentious elements of alternate reality and role-playing. Not the worst of its kind and does have some creative kills but far from groundbreaking.
