About This Movie

Dorset (2018) is an interesting piece in the horror genre that blends tension with a sense of foreboding. The story follows a hit man who finds himself in a dense, shadowy wood, and as he digs deeper into the local lore, it becomes clear the myths may hold a grain of truth. The atmosphere is thick with dread, enhanced by practical effects that give a raw, unsettling realism to the supernatural elements. Pacing is deliberately slow at times, building suspense as the protagonist grapples with his own moral compass amid the eerie occurrences. Performances are solid, capturing a mix of grit and vulnerability, making the character’s unraveling all the more compelling. It’s not your run-of-the-mill slasher, but rather a thoughtful exploration of fear and consequence.
