About This Movie

Irish Rasputin, directed by Caelan Stow, has this quirky, offbeat charm that really pulls you in. The film navigates the absurdity of desperation when two pub owners find themselves plotting murder to save their failing bar. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it lends to the chaotic atmosphere that these characters embody. You get a mix of dark humor with real stakes, and the practical effects add a raw authenticity to the darker moments. Performances are a real highlight, with the leads capturing a kind of frantic energy that feels genuine. It's distinctive in how it marries comedy with such a morbid premise, making it a curious watch for those interested in unconventional narratives.
