MIFF | 8° Film Festival Internazionale di Milano - Cookers / Dan Mintz / Brad Hunt, Cyia Batten, Patrick McGaw Cookers Brad Hunt, Cyia Batten, Patrick McGaw
After stealing a large amount of amphetamines from a group of outlaw bikers, Hector and his girlfriend Dorena, a couple of crystal-meth cookers, set up a lab in an abandoned farmhouse buried deep in the woods and begin to cook the meth. When Hector’s long-time friend, Merle, joins them, the group begins to consume large amounts of the drug. Their dreams of the last big score slowly start to unravel as paranoia and distrust set in and takes control of them. After days of sleep depravation and extreme isolation, strange things begin to happen in the old house, things they can’t explain. Hector begins to crack first, barricading the windows and bolting all the doors against some invisible threat. Is it real or is it just hallucinations? Soon every sound becomes a threat and the three begin to turn on each other. As the suspicion, paranoia and terror come to a head, the motivating question still remains, is the evil waiting outside worse than what lurks inside? Or is it all in their minds?
