OGRE

Cinemavixion Review

Steven R. Monroe's "Ogre" plunges viewers into the unsettlingly idyllic village of Ellensford, a place where time seems to stand still and prosperity is perpetual. This facade of perfection, however, masks a sinister pact. When a group of unsuspecting teenagers arrives, they uncover the chilling secret: the village's unnatural longevity is sustained by a ritualistic sacrifice to a monstrous Ogre. The film masterfully builds suspense, contrasting the serene beauty of the environment with the escalating dread of its inhabitants' plight. John Schneider, Ryan Kennedy, and Katharine Isabelle deliver compelling performances, navigating the terror and moral complexities of their situation. "Ogre" is a dark fantasy horror that explores themes of sacrifice, community, and the price of unnatural peace, offering a chilling narrative that lingers long after the credits roll.
