About This Movie

So, 'Squirrels' is one of those odd horror flicks that kind of creeps up on you. The atmosphere is thick with tension right from the start, and it really leans into that small-town vibe, you know? Our protagonist’s return home is packed with an unsettling blend of nostalgia and dread. There’s a sense of impending doom as he navigates his family’s dark secrets, which is amplified by some effective practical effects that give it an almost gritty realism. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it kinda works—keeps you guessing. And while the performances might not be Oscar contenders, they bring a rawness that suits the film. It’s not your typical horror, but it definitely carves out a unique space in the genre.
