: A slow-burn psychological horror set in 1922 Nebraska, the film relentlessly unravels a man’s descent into guilt and madness following a desperate attempt to secure his land and fortune. What distinguishes this film isn’t the murder itself, but the suffocating atmosphere cultivated by the vast, isolating cornfields and a creeping sense of dread that feels deeply rooted in the landscape. More a confession than a narrative, the story is told through the increasingly unreliable recollections of the father, fueled by a consuming and haunting guilt that manifests as supernatural torment. The film probes the corrosive influence of greed and the quiet fracturing of a family unit, specifically exploring a father’s attempt to force a son into complicity and the lasting damage inflicted upon their relationship—all culminating in a chilling exploration of the consequences of unchecked ambition and a desperate attempt to sever ties with the past.
