Always (2022) is a chilling addition to the modern thriller genre. The film dives into the unsettling atmosphere of a seemingly innocuous family home that hides dark secrets. The pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating, expertly building tension until the final reveal. The teen protagonist brings a rawness to the performance, her internal struggle palpable as she uncovers the house's horrific past. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, enhancing the eeriness without overwhelming the narrative. It’s a reminder of how familial bonds can warp under the weight of trauma, making it distinctive in its exploration of generational pain and hidden histories.
