Little Erin Merryweather

About This Movie

Little Erin Merryweather is this gritty little indie that really leans into its horror roots, playing off that classic New England college atmosphere. The pacing is surprisingly tight, with a sense of foreboding that builds as Peter Bloom, the lead, dives deeper into the mystery of the red flash and the subsequent murders. It has some rough-around-the-edges charm, and the performances, especially from Morwick, feel raw and authentic. The practical effects, while not always polished, contribute to the film's eerie vibe. It’s not your typical slasher fare; there's a real sense of dread and mystery that keeps you guessing. The film balances its horror with a palpable tension, making it an interesting watch for genre enthusiasts.
