Kuru

About This Movie

Kuru is this intriguing blend of drama and horror that really leans into the grotesque. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which complements the themes of familial obligation and moral decay. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as we follow this man's struggle, making every act of violence feel weighty, not just a shock. The practical effects are raw and visceral, adding to that sense of dread. The performances are quite striking, particularly the lead, who captures the torment of his situation beautifully. What sets Kuru apart is how it explores the darkness within family ties, rather than just relying on the usual horror tropes.

Explores the burden of family loyalty. · Raw practical effects enhance horror. · Deeply unsettling character study.
