VIBE

This is a taut, unsettling slow-burn thriller set against a gritty 1960s American backdrop. It explores a bizarre, claustrophobic dynamic between two disparate men on a road trip, with an unexpected animal companion adding a darkly humorous, unpredictable edge to the mounting tension. Expect a journey into moral ambiguity.
