Sweetie

About This Movie

Sweetie (2017) unfolds in a sparse rural setting, where the isolation really cranks up the tension. The atmosphere is thick with dread as two trick-or-treaters, unexpected and sinister, wreak havoc on a farmer who just wanted a quiet Halloween night. The pacing is slow, almost deliberate, which builds anticipation for the unsettling encounters. Practical effects are used sparingly, adding a layer of authenticity that feels refreshing in a genre often reliant on CGI. The performances are raw, capturing a sense of desperation and fear that resonates. It's this blend of rural horror and the unsettling dynamic between the tormentors and the victim that makes it distinct. A different take on Halloween horrors, for sure.
