MOVIE : Hurt (2021)

A calm sky, wind in the trees, and a ladybug perched on a wheat blade. In New Caney, Texas, nothing happens.

This farming town’s picture-perfect Americana is silent and undisturbed on Halloween night.

The passage of time is excruciatingly slow. Rose sits alone, smoking a cigarette, frightening the children away. She, like so many others that night, wears a mask.

Rose is heading to the village’s yearly horror show with her husband, who has just returned from the war, and things take a dark turn.
