OGRE

Cinemavixion Review

Steven R. Monroe's "OGRE" plunges viewers into the unsettling tranquility of Ellensford, a village where the elixir of youth and perpetual bounty mask a chilling pact. This horror offering posits a community bound by an ancient, terrifying tradition: an annual sacrifice to a monstrous ogre. The narrative gains traction as a group of unsuspecting teenagers finds themselves ensnared in this idyllic yet sinister locale, forcing them to confront the horrifying reality before they become the next offering. While the film's premise taps into classic folk horror tropes, its execution, bolstered by a cast including John Schneider and Katharine Isabelle, offers a suspenseful exploration of hidden darkness within seemingly perfect societies. The film's IMDb rating of 3.8/10 suggests a divisive reception, yet its unique blend of fantasy and horror, set against a backdrop of eternal youth and agrarian prosperity, makes it a compelling, albeit grim, watch for those drawn to tales of inescapable dread and ancient curses.
