Draft Dodger Massacre (2024) dives into the paranoia of the draft era, mixing horror with a palpable sense of dread. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating, as Carter and his friends try to escape the chaos only to find themselves in another kind of nightmare. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as Kelvin's fears unravel the group dynamic. What really stands out are the practical effects—some gnarly moments that feel raw and unpolished, fitting the film's gritty style. The performances are a mixed bag, but that adds to the realism of the characters caught in a bizarre situation. It’s a niche flick that plays on themes of patriotism gone wrong, leaving you with a kind of uneasy reflection long after it’s over.
