Mulberry Street

About This Movie

So, 'Mulberry Street' is this gritty little gem that really captures the feeling of urban decay. Directed by Jim Mickle, it's interesting how it combines body horror with a social commentary on housing and community. The pacing is tight, keeping you on edge as the characters deal with this bizarre infection turning people into rat-like creatures. The practical effects are surprisingly effective for a low-budget film, adding a rawness that CGI just can't replicate. The performances have this visceral quality, especially from the leads, who embody the desperation of their situation. It’s not just a horror flick; it reflects the fragility of society when things spiral out of control. Definitely worth a watch if you appreciate indie horror.
