Carrion

About This Movie

So 'Carrion' is one of those films that leans heavily into the gritty, dark side of crime and horror. You’ve got this alcoholic detective, which is such a classic trope, but it’s done with a twist here. The atmosphere is thick with dread as he dives deep into this cult-ish church ruled by the black pope—definitely not your everyday investigation. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow adds to the unsettling vibe. There's this blend of practical effects and offbeat characters—like lunatic lesbians and shape-shifting monsters—that makes it stand out. Performances are raw, capturing that desperation and confusion perfectly. It's not your polished horror flick, but it has a strange charm that simply pulls you in.
