Forty Five unfolds with a dark, brooding atmosphere that seeps into every frame. Boyd Fallon, a father consumed by grief, is portrayed with a raw intensity that's hard to shake off. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, reflecting Boyd's painstaking search for answers. As he gets deeper into the mystery, the film introduces Father Vaughan, whose cryptic allusions to a larger evil lend an unsettling air to the narrative. The practical effects are noteworthy, creating a sense of dread without relying too heavily on CGI. There’s a palpable tension that builds as Boyd's descent into obsession mirrors the film's exploration of themes like loss and vengeance. It’s this exploration, paired with solid performances, that sets Forty Five apart in the horror genre.
