            Three members of a Muslim family, Mohammad Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Yahya, 42, and their eldest son Hamed Shafia, 21, were found guilty of killing four of their other family members. The victims were Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, Geeti, 13, and Rona Mohammad, 52. The four bodies were found on June 30^th, 2009, in a Nissan Sentra at the bottom of the Rideau Canal, near Kingston. The vehicle had been pushed into the water on a late Tuesday night.

            These teenage girls, Zainab, Sahar, and Geeti came from a very strict family and were murdered by their own father, brother and step mother, and the victim Mohammad was  Shafia’s first wife. This very strict family believed that the teenage girls had brought disgrace to their family name. This type of culture killing is called ‘honor killings.’

The girls were referred to as whores by Shafia, their father, for having Boyfriends, wearing unsuitable clothing and socializing online.  Shafia was caught on tape saying, “Would they come back to life 100 times, you should do the same thing again. May the devil defecate on their graves. This is what a daughter should be. Would a daughter be such a whore?”

All three family members pleaded not guilty, commenting that they would never do such a thing to their own family members. However, evidence says otherwise. Each of the three members will serve a minimum of 25 years in prison without parole.

                Critics are torn between this new film. Some have called it the must-see movie of the month and describe it as tense, engrossing, extremely well-crafted, and an edge-of-your-seat movie. One critic says that the cast is superb, and the film is insanely gritty and shockingly tense. However, other critics are also saying that it was a big downer. Some have said that the characterization of the cast was horrible, and that the ending was unnecessary, while others have called the portrayal of the wolves to be disapproving and wrong. The film is also being called the feel-bad movie of the year. In one word, it was a rut.
