Nor'easter

About This Movie

Nor'easter has this eerie, atmospheric quality that sticks with you. The story revolves around a priest wrestling with his faith after a family declares their long-missing son dead, only for the boy to return in a chilling twist. It's intriguing how the film balances the supernatural with deep existential questions, all while maintaining a slow, creeping tension. The performances are raw, especially from the lead priest, who genuinely grapples with his beliefs. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing that sense of dread without overshadowing the narrative. It’s not your standard supernatural fare, and it lingers on moral dilemmas that go beyond just what you see on screen.

Nor’easter has a bit of a cult following among collectors, known for its limited release and the obscurity surrounding its director. It hasn’t been extensively covered in home media, making original prints somewhat scarce. The film's unique take on themes of faith and family gives it a distinct place in the genre, appealing to those interested in deeper narratives rather than just typical horror tropes.
