The Zone of Interest (2023)


This is not an easy watch. A more mundane view of what life must have been life back in 1940s Germany, when it was much easier to stand in line and not question the atrocities that were occurring all around, for fear of one's own livelihood. We see the domestic life of a commandant and his family, whose backyard features a view of a furnace that is constantly burning. There are scenes in this film that are downright chilling to the bone. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.

4 moments of quiet horror out of 5
