Callus (2023)
Atmospheric dread with depth and humanity
25 July 2023 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Beautifully shot and wonderfully performed. Callus is a tale of suspicion, fear and hatred born from tradition and hard times. These forces clash against the bond of family in this tightly paced short film.
Written and Directed by Ciarán Hickey and produced by his longtime collaborator Finbar Croft. Callus explores similar themes to Hickey's previous work, where human spirits and bonds are played against seemingly insurmountable forces; be they supernatural, extraterrestrial or historical.
As in his previous outings, Ciarán pulls exceptional performances from a well selected cast. I highly recommend this, though be warned, you will find yourself rewatching several times, each time catching further detail and nuance.
