Or is it neighborhood? Well whatever the case , no pun intended. Also hi to the director, who had quite the interesting and long foreword before the movie started at Fantasy Filmfest (in Stuttgart for me). He said he would be checking imdb, X and letterboxd to see if anyone would be rating his movie - and here we are.
But I am not writing this for the audience of 1 - although I don't mind if it is just one person who swings by. You can't get them all - and concerning this low budget movie, it will have a hard time to find its way into cinemas - at least in Europe. That said, it really does not take any prisoners (well no pun intended once again, also not meant literally).
You have brothers who have to survive. They have to work together in a situation that adults would have problems to deal with anything ... that said, we do also get a glimpse of something ... we hear something ... and we can guess what or who that would be ... I doubt many will be surprised or will see the resolution as a great twist.
That said, the movie has enough story tweaks and stuff happening that I did not expect, so it is able to catch you off guard. Cinematography is great ... the set design is amazing ... and the bleak tone (almost devoid of any color and you can make your own deductions about that, psychologically speaking, but also otherwise) sets a tome that the movie is able to maintain throughout.
How do you end a movie like this? It will be quite ... well moving! Yes I went there - and the characters sort of too ... not for the faint hearted for sure! Be aware of that and the movie will be able to have you at the edge of your seat almost al the way through.
