Some Beasts

About This Movie

Some Beasts is a tense exploration of familial greed and isolation set against the stark backdrop of a Chilean island. The atmosphere is thick with unease, as the family’s dynamics unravel when Nicolás disappears. It’s not just a thriller; the way it plays with psychological tension is quite remarkable. The pacing lingers, almost like the inevitable doom is creeping in slowly, making you feel every moment of dread. Performances feel raw and genuine, which really helps to ground the film in reality. I appreciate how it doesn’t rely on flashy effects but rather on the disturbing implications of their situation. There's something about its quiet intensity that lingers with you long after the credits roll.
