The Samaritans

About This Movie

The Samaritans is an intriguing piece that leans heavily into the unsettling nature of its rural setting. It’s just two guys at a bus stop, right? But the tension builds slowly as they argue about shadows and what lurks across the street. The pacing is deliberate, which really enhances that feeling of dread, like waiting for something to happen but not quite knowing what it is. The practical effects are minimal, but they definitely contribute to the film's eerie atmosphere. Performances are solid, capturing that palpable sense of paranoia and mistrust. It really gets under your skin, making you question what’s real and what’s imagined. Definitely a unique entry in the indie horror scene.

Interesting exploration of psychological horror. · Minimalist setting adds to the tension. · Focuses on dialogue-driven storytelling.
