Heart of the Stag is one of those curious gems from '84 that lingers in your mind long after viewing. It's a slow burn for sure, but the tension builds in a way that feels almost claustrophobic. The atmosphere is heavy, with muted colors and an unsettling score that supports the disturbing themes of familial betrayal. The performances carry a weight; the farmhand's gradual realization is portrayed with a rawness that feels genuine, making the emotional impact all the more chilling. The pacing might test some viewers, but it really amplifies the discomfort. What stands out is its unflinching look at dark secrets within seemingly normal lives; it’s a gripping examination of morality and complicity that sticks with you.
