Calf

About This Movie

Calf is a haunting exploration of rural life, where the atmosphere is thick with dread and the pacing feels like a slow burn, drawing you into Cáit's turbulent psyche. The farm accident isn’t just a plot device; it’s a catalyst for deeper themes of choice and consequence. You can really feel the weight of her decision pressing down, the tension palpable throughout. The practical effects are unsettling, lending a gritty realism that enhances the horror. And while we don’t know the director yet, the performances, especially from the lead, are raw and compelling, capturing that sense of isolation and moral ambiguity. It’s not your standard horror fare, and that’s what makes it distinctive, almost like a dark fable.
