Our Review Editorial
Forced home to spread their late father's ashes, two estranged brothers circle each other and the wounds they never healed, until something strange falls from the sky and upends the reckoning. Scotty Felix blends drama, horror, and the open desolation of the Western into a spare, tense chamber piece, where the family ranch becomes a stage for buried resentment and sudden unearthly menace. Conor Donnally and Cyrus Hobbi shoulder a story that keeps its cards close.
The result is slow-burning and uneasy, the kind of film that lets grief and grudges fester before the genre floor drops away. Its mood is brooding and elemental, more interested in atmosphere than explanation. Viewers who appreciate moody indie horror, sibling dramas, and Westerns that wander somewhere stranger will find this a quietly unsettling watch worth sitting with.
