Dead on the Vine

About This Movie

Dead on the Vine, from 2022, is this odd blend of comedy and thriller that feels almost like a darkly comedic ride through a vineyard. The whole setup with Ellis and Drayton is intriguing, right? They’re sent from London, and then bam! Drayton's seizure throws a wrench in their plans. The atmosphere shifts dramatically with Joni and Cora, the vineyard owners, bringing a certain charm that turns unsettling as more characters show up. What I found distinctively interesting is how Ellis's web of lies unravels amidst these chaotic encounters. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the tension. Plus, the performances have this raw, almost improvisational feel that keeps it engaging. It’s one of those films that lingers with you for its quirky moments and unexpected turns.
