Plain Folks

About This Movie

So, 'Plain Folks' is this intriguing blend of comedy and horror that dives into the college experience from a unique perspective. The protagonist, a Pakistani immigrant, really captures that feeling of being the outsider, especially on a conservative Mormon campus. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it kind of serves the story's erratic nature, with the supernatural elements creeping in to disrupt what should be a fun party atmosphere. The practical effects have that gritty feel, which contrasts nicely with the more light-hearted college antics. It’s all about navigating identity and belonging, which gives it some depth amidst the laughs and scares. Performances are solid, but it’s the atmosphere that sticks with you, like an eerie echo of the college experience mixed with something much darker.
