Dirty Little Trick

About This Movie

So, 'Dirty Little Trick' is this 2011 thriller that really dives into the tension of trust and deception. Michael, played by a somewhat lesser-known actor, picks up a hitch-hiker that seems innocuous at first, but the mundane quickly spirals into chaos. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing keeps you guessing – just when you think you’ve got it figured out, another twist hits. The practical effects are not over-the-top, which adds a layer of realism to the horror. The performances, especially from the hitch-hiker, are unsettlingly compelling, bringing a certain edge that lingers. It's not groundbreaking, but there's something about its simplicity that makes it stand out among indie thrillers.
