The Alpines

About This Movie

The Alpines is a tense psychological thriller that unfolds over a seemingly innocent weekend retreat among seven friends. The atmosphere is thick with unresolved tensions and the pacing cleverly mirrors their slowly unraveling sanity. Each character grapples with their own secrets, and the film does an interesting job of peeling back layers to reveal how their past traumas connect. The use of practical effects to create unsettling moments is a standout, lending a gritty authenticity to the unfolding horror. Performances are solid, capturing that awkwardness of reuniting after years, but it’s the slow burn of suspense that really sets this film apart. You can almost feel the weight of their secrets as they linger in the air.
