Killington, Wellness, Yoga, and Murder in Vermont

Four babes from Sarah Lawrence College! Ha! For those of you that don't know, the faculty, staff, students and alumni at and of Sarah Lawrence College have been on suicide watch ever since Trump threw Hillary into the trash heap of American history. So when our four protagonists are from Sarah Lawrence College... we cheer for the slasher!  To our credit, this slasher is a babe and a half. Not very likeable, but she probably plied her time as a physical education major at a community college. Today we take a peek at 2024's "Killington," as in Killington, Vermont, directed by Mark Duszinski and Frank Perz.

Our four aforementioned sophisticate-wannabes win a free weekend with their spiritual wellness guru, the glorified Yoga instructor Kali (Sophie Sumner). These four worship Kali, or at least two do, more on that later. Bride-to-be foregoes her bachelorette weekend to go spend a few days with Kali. The plan is to meditate, do Yoga, meditate some more, spiritually cleanse, eat right, and meditate some more.  You can imagine, after a few minutes of this, anyone would crave steak, potatoes, and beer. Emily (Sarah Faye Beard), is the bride to be and thinks Kali is God.  She watches her podcast regularly. Lulu (Nikki MacCallum) is also brainwashed by this ASMR Yoga fraud. Allegra (Brianna Cala) pretends she likes Kali, only to be with her buddies.  Then, actress and TV hostess Darcy (Sam Morales) goes along out of curiosity.

Kali believes she can save the souls of these four.  After the gals bore of her vegan diet, reliance on meditating, and yapping about souls, the quartet break out the alcohol, call a male stripper, do cocaine, drink beer, and bicker about materialistic things.  Kali is so disgusted she could...well, you'll see. Oh, yeah...the creepy caretaker develops a liking to Darcy. The gals start suspecting something is very wrong when the stripper mysteriously disappears...they have no idea.  The final half hour will be incredibly gory, but just like the Hillary bid for the presidency, the weekend will be ill-fated and quite messy.

Is Kali really an insaniac, or has she legitimately reached Zen or whatever Yoga priestesses do? Are any of the materialistic babes ripe for saving or having their souls purified, or has Sarah Lawrence College corrupted every fiber of their phycological make-up?  Will the toned, blonde, and Yoga pants clad Kali enter into some nice catfights with her four guests? This is a slasher film with big knives, gutting, pummeling, catfights, and meditation...eat your heart out John Carpenter! See "Killington" and celebrate the death of liberal college educations.
