Prairie

About This Movie

Prairie (2022) is an interesting twist on the horror genre, set against the backdrop of the vast Texas prairie. The film captures this sense of isolation beautifully, with Sarah and Lettie's relationship troubles taking center stage, which makes the tension feel real. The daylight setting is a change from typical horror, and it really amplifies the creeping dread. There's something about the tall grass that feels alive, almost like a character in itself, and the way it plays into the couple’s bickering is intriguing. The performances are solid, adding layers to their dynamic. Practical effects are effectively used here, and the pacing feels right for building suspense. It's a slow burn, but it gets under your skin in a unique way.
