Kindling (2022) dives into the unsettling realm of a camping trip gone awry. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, as it teases the sense of isolation with a creeping dread. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the uneasy build-up to feel organic rather than rushed. It explores themes of trust and the unknown, which resonate quite effectively throughout the group dynamics. Practical effects are employed here in a way that feels refreshing, avoiding over-reliance on CGI. The performances, while not standout, carry a certain rawness that feels authentic, adding to the film’s eerie vibe. There’s something distinctive about its approach to the horror genre, making it a curious watch for those who appreciate atmospheric storytelling.
