Up North

About This Movie

So, you've got this film, 'Up North,' which is quite an oddity. Picture a disheveled accountant, deep in his drug haze, taking his friends to what he thinks will be a relaxing getaway. But it’s anything but. The tension builds as an underage killer, lurking in the shadows, adds a layer of dread that really sticks with you. The atmosphere is thick, almost claustrophobic, which makes the pacing feel tight — you never quite know when the next jump scare is coming. Practical effects are decent, nothing groundbreaking, but there’s a rawness to them that fits the film's gritty vibe. Performances range from passable to surprisingly engaging, and it’s this blend of dark humor and horror that gives 'Up North' its peculiar charm.

'Up North' is relatively obscure, which makes it a fun find for collectors who appreciate less-traveled paths in horror cinema. It's not widely available in mainstream formats, so securing a copy could be a challenge. Interest tends to be higher among enthusiasts of indie horror, particularly those who enjoy films with a gritty edge and a storyline that veers into the absurd. Keep an eye out for any special screenings or rare DVD releases, as they can pop up now and then but aren’t easy to come by.
