They Must Eat!

About This Movie

They Must Eat! is a gritty horror flick that dives into the dark psyche of a warehouse worker turned master of the undead. The film's tone is thick with dread, and the atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, as you watch this character grapple with his inner demons – both literally and metaphorically. Pacing is deliberate, giving the audience time to absorb the truly unsettling nature of the ghouls he commands, who are brought to life with some impressively grotesque practical effects. The tension builds as his quest for vengeance spirals out of control, and what I found distinct here is how it tackles themes of desperation and the lengths one might go to for acceptance. Performances are raw and unrefined, adding to the film's charm.

Unique practical effects that stand out in indie horror. · Explores themes of desperation and societal acceptance. · Atmospheric tension builds effectively throughout.
