Straight off its world premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest, the hype for the film RIVER is not only real, but palpable. The brutal film has a more nostalgic horror feel to it with its grounded template and leans more into the suspense than jump scares or gore. Its this simplified broken down aesthetic that is the films strong suit and buries the audience in layers of dread through the second and third acts.

The terrifying survival flick stars notable horror veterans Jessica Rothe and Jane Levy as they find themselves in a desperate and unimaginable situation as they are hunted while their boat is stranded. Writer and director Joshua Giuliano has a unique voice that will resonate with lifelong horror fans. My hope is to see more from him and that RIVER will just be the beginning for this talented storyteller.

SYNOPSIS: In River, when three estranged siblings reunite in their hometown after the death of their father, they set out to scatter his ashes at his favorite spot on a remote river. But when their boat breaks down, the trip devolves into a waking nightmare. Stranded miles from help with no cell service, they soon realize they’re being stalked by a faceless killer who has emerged from the woods. To survive the night, the siblings must put their long-standing grudges aside and fight together against a ruthless, almost mythic terror.

A hard man is good to find. Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki, and Peter Dinklage star in WICKER. Written for the Screen and Directed by Alex Huston Fischer & Eleanor Wilson. Only in theaters October.
