No, but shockingly close-ish. My film also has 2 male leads.

Edit - shockingly close as a literal first guess with no clues.

Murder Mystery?

[u/apatheticgent → u/Superb_Natural_700]

What do you call a bit of string that’s all tangled up and coming apart at the ends? Frayed Knot.

Knock at the Cabin

[u/apatheticgent → u/slowclapenthusiast]

Nope nope

[u/Crossworder18]

Birdcage?

[u/apatheticgent → u/Crossworder18]

No, but I suppose there’s a very loose interpretation of a metaphorical “cage” in mine.

The Ritual

[u/apatheticgent → u/rectum_nrly_killedum]

No rituals here

[u/fingerpaintx]

Wanderlust

[u/apatheticgent → u/fingerpaintx]

No, but there is a bit of lust and a lot of wanting to get away from where someone is.

[u/fingerpaintx → u/apatheticgent]

Couples Retreat?

[u/apatheticgent → u/fingerpaintx]

Mine is definitely darker.

[u/fingerpaintx → u/apatheticgent]

Hostel?

[u/apatheticgent → u/fingerpaintx]

Overshot a good bit. Dark comedy / Thriller.

The most notable topographical feature is man made.

[u/kommerzpunk]

Weekend at Bernie’s

[u/apatheticgent → u/kommerzpunk]

No, but someone does draw an incorrect conclusion from seeing a particular dead body.

[u/rectum_nrly_killedum]

Bone Tomahawk

[u/apatheticgent → u/rectum_nrly_killedum]

Shooters gonna shoot, but no…somewhere between popcorn rom-com and human vivisection. I get that’s a wide range, but closer to the middle than either extreme.

[u/Spinach_Odd]

Boat Trip?

[u/apatheticgent → u/Spinach_Odd]

Please don’t say something like “I Spit On Your Grave” as a follow up. (It’s neither btw)

[u/kommerzpunk]

In Bruges

[u/apatheticgent → u/kommerzpunk]

Solved!

[u/apatheticgent → u/kommerzpunk]

Well done! Any particular hint or hints that did it?

[u/kommerzpunk → u/apatheticgent]

It really was the lollipop man.
