Sarah invites her old friends, Abby and Lou, on a reunion trip to a remote island in Maine. There will be laughter, tears, and a boozy catharsis. It's the sort of weekend that can transform the three into fully realized, grown-ass women.

Critic Reviews

Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter
Working from a ruthlessly efficient script by husband Mark Duplass, Aselton effortlessly sets up the women's reunion scenario before effectively flipping the action from drama to thriller.
Rob Nelson, Variety
Straining to be a distaff "Deliverance," indie thriller Black Rock is unable to shock, much less convince.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
The shotgun wedding of mumblecore and bare-bones genre filmmaking is promising in theory, but lackluster and surprisingly generic in practice.
Noel Murray, AV Club
Black Rock is well-acted, and contains a couple of memorable scenes, but for the most part this is a blah buddy dramedy that transforms into a blah chase thriller.
Todd Gilchrist, ShockTillYouDrop.com
Black Rock makes subtle changes that distinguish it as a marginally more thoughtful stalking killer movie, but horror fans will find its twists and turns too familiar to leave a lasting impression.
