LOCATION:The Vic Theatre :: 808 Douglas Street Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Revenge is a rite of passage in Jeff Barnaby’s audacious, genre-bending debut. The reigning "weed princess" of Red Crow reserve, teenage Aila (Kawennahere Devery Jacobs) communes with spirits as she plots against Popper (Mark Antony Krupa), the callous Indian Agent who’s tormented her community for generations. However, in order to exact her vengeance, she must infiltrate the residential school that looms ominously above the reserve and has become the stuff of ghost stories and nightmares for every Mi’kmaq child.=0D=0A=

Courtesy of meticulous production design, Barnaby rigorously constructs a gritty 70s milieu that lends itself well to country noir flourishes that recall Winter’s Bone. But the moment you’re convinced you have a read on Ghouls, it unleashes its more surreal elements and begins to spin its own rich mythology. And while the druggy revenge fantasy that ensues owes a debt to exploitation films, it’s guided by its own idiosyncratic rhythms and fueled by a genuine sense of outrage over the horrors perpetrated during the residential school era.=0D=0A=
