The Sticks

About This Movie

So, 'The Sticks' takes you into this really unsettling forest setting after a car crash that leaves Beth alone and vulnerable. There’s this raw tension throughout, like you can almost feel the weight of the trees closing in on her. The supernatural elements are done with practical effects, which gives it this gritty, tangible feel, not relying too much on CGI. The pacing builds nicely; it draws you in slowly but ramps up the horror when you least expect it. Beth’s struggle for survival is paired with some deep themes of isolation and fear, which really hit home. The performances add to this disturbing vibe, making it all the more immersive.
