The Mitchin Murders

About This Movie

The Mitchin Murders is a fascinating take on the horror genre set in the depths of 1994. It follows two journalists who dive into a small-town mystery around a series of unsettling murders, which have haunted Mitchin, Iowa, for four years. The atmosphere is thick with dread, almost palpable, as they unravel dark secrets. What stands out is the pacing; it pulls you in slowly, building tension through eerie sound design and practical effects that feel refreshingly grounded. Performances are solid, capturing that blend of desperation and determination. It's not flashy but crafts a unique tone that feels both nostalgic and unsettling. The film’s exploration of fear and the unknown really resonates without overindulging in cliché tropes.
