About This Movie

Shehita is a fascinating blend of drama, horror, and thriller that dives deep into the psychological turmoil of its characters. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the rural setting amplifies the isolation and dread felt by the young farmer, the mashgiach, and the local Rabbi. They grapple not just with a mysterious illness affecting the cattle, but also demons of their past, adding layers to their motivations. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the sense of dread to build slowly, almost suffocatingly. The practical effects used to depict the illness are haunting and visceral, grounding the horror in reality. Performances are strong, especially in how they portray the internal struggles against both supernatural and moral dilemmas. Definitely a unique entry in the horror genre that lingers long after the credits roll.
