Carrion

About This Movie

So, 'Carrion' is this intriguing 2016 thriller that really leans into the tension of its setting—a stormy Mexican coast, which kind of mirrors the emotional turmoil brewing between the characters. It starts off as this idyllic getaway for a couple, but things spiral pretty fast into a wild love triangle that gets pretty violent. The pacing is interesting; it builds slowly, letting that dread seep in before it hits you with the chaos. The practical effects in the climax are surprisingly effective, and the performances feel raw and authentic. There’s something about the way it captures jealousy and desire that makes it stick in your mind. Definitely a unique take on thriller tropes, at least in my book.
