A hitchhiker is murdered. The killer takes her body to his wheelbound brothers house and plans on disposing of the body.

I knew nothing about End Play. I then decided to investigate when I saw that it was on YouTube. Every now and then I strike lucky by doing this. And in this instance I hit the jackpot!

End Game is a devilish, ingenius and demented film. There’s one scene in which the killer dresses as a hippie and wheels the heavily disguised corpse of the deceased to a screening of A Clockwork Orange to dispose of the body. If you’re going to get rid of a body, do it with style and involve a cinema classic in the process.

The dialogue is so sarcastic and caustic that I laughed out loud plenty of times. I also loved the power dynamic between the brothers with the wheelchair bound brother both leading the police to his brother, confirming their suspicions about him but then bailing his sibling out at the last minute. It feels like an extended episode of Tales of the Unexpected as there are so many twists and turns.

To top all of this, most of the cast went onto star in Prisoner (yes, as you can tell from these reviews, I’m obsessed). Some of Wentworth Detention Centre’s big hitters are here- George Mallaby (Paul Reid), Terry Gill (Inspector Grace), Elspeth Ballantyne (Meg Jackson/Morris) but to top it off there’s HRH Sheila Florence (the one and only Lizzie Birdsworth).

End Play is a cracker of a film.

4.5 out of 5 stars
