31 Days of 2024 Horror - Day 18 - Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023)

  Content warning: mild gore, cannibalism

People keep going missing in the Arvores National Park.  A fact that Ranger Lennon (Georgina Campbell) is all too aware of, given that her sister, Jenny (Letícia Assunção), was one of them.  Jenny's disappearance has haunted Lennon for years and now, she plans to use her first season in the back-country to search for answers.

I wish I could be nicer to this movie but it just didn't do anything for me.  I'm sure there are a bunch of people for whom the unknown is terrifying and if so, this is probably a great movie for them.  I needed clarity and I wasn't getting it.  Also, I don't camp so I don't really care what happens in the woods.  You go out there, that's on you.

If bugs and sleeping on rocks are your thing, give this a shot.  It's currently streaming on Kanopy with a library card and Tubi for free with ads.
