Happy Now

About This Movie

So, 'Happy Now' is this intriguing little thriller that plays out in a small North Welsh community, and it really captures that eerie atmosphere of secrets lurking beneath the surface. You’ve got Glen Marcus, who's climbed the socio-political ladder but is haunted by a past he can’t shake off. The pacing is quite deliberate, letting that tension build as the horror of their history creeps back in when Tina Trent's daughter returns from Alaska. The performances are solid, especially the chemistry between Glen and his mate—feels genuine, like you’re watching something raw unfold. It’s those practical effects that add an extra layer of grit to the film; they don’t shy away from the darker aspects of the plot. Quite distinctive for its regional setting, it gives off this unique vibe that sticks with you.
