Landscape Suicide

About This Movie

Landscape Suicide is a gritty exploration of the human psyche, focusing on two very different murderers. The director’s approach feels almost like a documentary at times, blending stark realism with a cold examination of Americana. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the weight of each story to settle in. You get a sense of dread, especially with Ed Gein's unsettling methods of taxidermy, which highlight a macabre aspect of rural life. Bernadette Protti's story brings a jarring contrast—teenage angst spiraling into violence over a trivial insult. The film uses minimal practical effects, relying instead on the raw performances of its subjects to convey horror. It’s definitely thought-provoking, maybe even unsettling, but it’s that very discomfort that makes it distinctive in the genre.
