The Damned (2024)


Atmospheric horror works best when you've had enough rest beforehand and when you actually give a shit about what's happening on screen. Only one of those things is my fault. On an Arctic fishing outpost in the 19th century, a small crew has run low on resources and resorted to eating their own bait. They discover a boat trapped in the ice, but due to the high risk and their poor starving conditions, decide not to intervene and let the crew sink instead. And they appear to be haunted by this decision. It's a bit of a snoozefest that doesn't really feel like it was worth the effort of staying awake through it.
