October

About This Movie

Oh, 'October' is quite the trip. Jeremy Saulnier really knows how to weave tension into a story. This one feels raw, set against the Halloween backdrop, which adds a layer of eerie atmosphere. The pacing keeps you on edge, lingering just enough to build suspense before things explode. It's got this gritty realism that Saulnier loves, with practical effects that don't shy away from the visceral. The performances? They’re noteworthy—intense and layered, making the characters feel real even in such a heightened scenario. It's a fugitive thriller, so you know there’s a lot of running and chasing, but the themes of survival and desperation are front and center. A unique entry in the horror-thriller genre for sure.
