Together, McCoy and Williams make The Owners stand out. Newness is a big ask for movies visiting territory this familiar. Two outstanding central performances, however, make a much more reasonable expectation.

Loosely based on the graphic novel Une Nuit de Pleine lune, The Owners doesn’t feel new or groundbreaking by any measure. Still, this increasingly bizarre film is grisly and absurd in all the right, self-aware ways; qualities that the comparable (and far superior) “Don’t Breathe” also possessed as another recent horror film that turned the tables against its lowlife aggressors.

Williams and her contemporaries are excellent. The senior actors do, however, steal the show. It’s lovely to see both having such a disreputably good time.

The Owners is tense, uneasy and brutal, escalating from the creepy to the ludicrous over the course of 92 deliberately unpleasant minutes.

Is a 2020 horror film featuring an absurd comedy. The film is neither funny nor scary. The actors and characters are so carefully selected that they are all antipathetic. It's one of the most annoying and time-wasting movies I've ever seen. A group of 4 people are going to rob a mansion. They find a safe November, but they can't open it. Then they are waiting for the old couple who owns the house. They're getting into trouble on their own trying to scare them off. It's a really ridiculous movie. There are scenes in the film that contain sexuality in places.
