Strange Times

About This Movie

Strange Times is one of those indie horror flicks that manages to capture a certain eerie vibe. The story centers around a young man heading to the Sierra National Forest, supposedly for a fishing trip with friends, but as the title suggests, things take a dark turn. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing tension to build as the atmosphere thickens with mystery and unease. There's a rawness to the practical effects that really adds to the unsettling tone. Performances are understated yet impactful, which makes the interactions feel real and relatable. It’s not your run-of-the-mill slasher, rather it plays with psychological elements that linger long after the credits roll. Definitely an interesting piece for anyone looking to explore more off-beat horror cinema.
