Old Strangers (2021)

Three friends — Michael, Sarah and Danny — reconnect in a secluded mountain town after going through a long quarantine. Yet while they take a hike, the friends stumble upon something dark and terrible in the deep woods.

At just a bit over an hour, Old Strangers doesn’t eat up much of your time in its tale of odd things in the wood and friends being changed by what they find. Perhaps it’s the times that we’re surviving, but the idea of time away with people we’ve known before, only to have that taken away, seems like the worst of all horror. This movie does a decent job of showing just how bad that would be.

I really dug the space shots of this, as it pushes the film toward the otherworldly.
