I’ve been trying to remember the name of this movie for a while now, and it’s driving me crazy. I don’t remember much with certainty except for one specific scene that I know 100% is real—it’s burned into my brain, and I’m hoping someone out there recognizes it.
Here’s the most important scene that I remember vividly:
A blonde-haired woman is in the bathtub, and a man—who I believe is her brother—is helping her shave her legs. The scene is slow and intimate. At one point, he pretends to accidentally drop the razor in the water, and then he slowly reaches into the bath to retrieve it but instead he starts fingering her under the water. Things turn sexual and very tense in that moment.
That’s the most unforgettable part of the film for me, and I’m 100% sure about it. Even if I’ve gotten everything else wrong, that scene is real and very distinctive. If anyone’s seen the film, they’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
Other details I think I remember (but might be wrong about):
The man and the blonde woman are brother and sister, but this isn’t clear at the beginning.
They lure friends or a group of people into the brother’s house.
As the movie progresses, the friends are killed off one by one.
It turns out (as a twist or reveal) that the brother and sister are in an incestuous relationship and are the killers.
The sister may have had sex with one of the guests (possibly her boyfriend), which could have caused jealousy.
I believe it’s an American horror or thriller, possibly from the 2000s or early 2010s.
It was likely low-budget or an indie film—not a big Hollywood production.
Again, I could be mixing up or misremembering some of the plot, characters, or relationships—but that bathtub leg shaving scene with the razor drop and sexual tension is 100% accurate and very unique. I’m sure anyone who’s seen the movie would remember it

The Hamiltons (2006)?
Could it be Cruel Intentions? They were step siblings and there was sexual stuff between them the whole movie.
There’s no murder in that movie tho
Captivity 2007 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374563/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Never seen the movie, so not sure if the scene you mentioned is in it, but the rest of the plot seems to match up with Taboo (2002) with Nick Stahl and January Jones
It honestly sounds like Flowers in the Attic but I don’t know.
The Dreamers?
Buried Alive 2007 https://youtu.be/_bbV_nI_cTA?t=64
Dogtooth?
The Dreamers?
Unfortunately I can’t remember the name (will keep looking) but i definitely know what you’re talking about! Watched a summary or review of it on youtube a while back. Other things I remember if it helps anyone else find it is that there’s a scene where someone rushes outside and is killed by/against a car at night and another scene where a brunette girl drags herself through a pool of blood out/by the bathroom inside the house. Will keep looking though!
Sounds like Johnny Suede with Brad Pitt and Catherine Keener. This would be just before that scene happens

This sounds like The Dreamers with Michael Pitt and Eva Green
I have no idea what movie this is but maybe this will help?

The skeleton twins?
Long legs and party line are the only ones I can think of
Some options:
The House at the End of the Street (2012)
Summer’s Moon (2009)
?
The House of Yes?
Les Enfants terribles?
Saltburn
I’ve actually seen this movie and remember this scene and hating it because I always thought about how dangerous razors are or it swiping up against someone in the bathtub. I DO remember liking the movie though. So sad that I can’t remember the title.
Cruel Intentions?
It’s most certainly The Dreamers right?
I feel like I remember this scene. Was the sister Nicole Kidman?
definitely not the film you’re looking for since the other details don’t match and they’re not blond, but thought i’d comment anyway to future people who find this thread: in Adolescence of Utena, siblings Miki and Kozue share a bath and she shaves his eyebrows with a straight razor.
