Uncle

About This Movie

So, 'Uncle' from 2022 is one of those horror flicks that really dives into the grimy underbelly of desperation. You’ve got this dynamic between the escaped convict uncle and his naive nephew, Orbe, which feels oddly relatable in its chaos. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it kind of works to build up this tense atmosphere. The scene where they run over the Ol' Hag? Sets off a wild chain of events that blends dark humor with genuine dread. The practical effects, while not overly flashy, have a rawness that adds to the unsettling vibe. It’s not your run-of-the-mill horror; it’s got a certain grit that lingers, making you think twice about the consequences of their actions.
