As a referendum horror, WHITE SETTLERS has made waves and indeed the politically highly controversial subtext is able to bring debate to the tableau. In doing so, it skilfully breaks genre conventions to make its stance clear. And yet: WHITE SETTLERS is a home invasion thriller of the harder kind, without falling into the splatter trap. It's all about pure suspense, told at a fast pace, continuously tickling our instincts. A fine piece of terror cinema!
