Glenville is a gritty slice of horror that really leans into the unsettling atmosphere of a small town haunted by its past. The tension builds slowly but surely, with the pacing reflecting the creeping dread of the townsfolk. The killer's return adds an edge of mystery, and the private detective's investigation offers a nice counterpoint, delving into family dynamics and hidden secrets. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, serve the story well, adding a layer of rawness that complements the narrative. Performances are solid, capturing a mix of despair and determination that feels authentic. It’s that blend of horror and mystery, wrapped in a small-town vibe, that makes Glenville stand out, capturing the essence of a bygone era in indie filmmaking.
