Pray Away. Grady is bipolar and taking prescription meds to combat his depression. Living out in the sticks has made him very lonely and he is looking forward to a weekend with his old friends.

This tension is exploited by a young, homeless drifter named Beetle Hobbs David J. Grady buys pot from the kid. Grady feels sorry for him and agrees. Big mistake. Beetle has his own agenda. Flight of the Cardinal opens with a bravura sequence in which a first person camera representing Beetle's point of view prowls through the lodge. A split screen shows Beetle's invasion while Grady is jogging.

The intrusion seems playful at first: a hand inserts a piece on an unfinished jigsaw puzzle and scatters the balls on a billiard table.

But then his actions become more malicious. Beetle pries into personal files on Grady's computer and reads the profiles of the upcoming guests. And then, just so we know this kid is not to be trusted, we watch him switch Grady's depression medicine with different pills, identical in color.

This act of pure evil actually creeped me out. Beetle wheedles his way into everyone's good graces and no one suspects his motives. As tensions in the lodge escalate, Beetle is always around a corner listening to everything that is said and then using it to his advantage later. As Grady unknowingly suffers withdrawal from his antidepressants, he becomes irritable, paranoid and finally violent.

Beetle, like Shakespeare's Iago, whispers poison into his, and everybody else's, ears. He tells the guests that they are being watched on the surveillance cameras that are all over the lodge. The previous maid quit for that very reason, he "reluctantly" confesses, and then adds that he has suspected for some time now that Grady might be losing his mind.

Flight of the Cardinal is actually a quite satisfying thriller. This one is psychological and doesn't go for cheap shocks or thrills. The suspense builds slowly; it is subtle… like a film by Hitchcock or Polanski. There is humor at the right moments too.

Beetle plays the tease with Andy hell, he walks out of his room stark naked in front of him. Not Rated. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Crazy credits "Life cannot go on without the mutual devouring of organisms" Ernest Becker.

User reviews 9 Review. Top review. Needs work and don't waste your money. The film is a disappointment. It's a thriller set in the mountains of North Carolina. I think this was a first time director which you would normally excuse but QFest also showed Undertow which was shot by a first time director as well that won 2 awards at QFest including audience favorite in addition to an award at Sundance.

It's like a Porsche trying to drag race a Neon. QFest was extremely stupid for showing this as a closing night film instead of Undertow. I think the actors tried their best at what they were given but the movie didn't flow or fully explain Beattle and why he did what he did. I am not sure why Robert Gaston used Matthew Montgomery in the film given he is simply a mediocre actor and his facial expressions and acting made me want to laugh in the serious parts. If you have to see it, get it on Netflix.

Don't rent the DVD or else you will be wasting your money. Details Edit. Release date July 19, United States. United States. Official Facebook.
