A Chilling Exploration of Self Improvement

Joshua Morgan and his team have crafted a unique cinematic experience. This is not your typical Thriller or Horror, instead be prepared for a dramatic dive into a psychological terror and a story that keeps you guessing.

The characters are very well written and performed in a way that keeps you sucked in. The actors are delivering the story on multiple levels, saying one thing with their mouths and something totally different with their eyes. Even in more upbeat scenes, they hold a sinister tone that keeps you constantly uneasy.

The other highlights are beautiful cinematography, expert direction, and great pacing that all comes together to create an excellent cinematic experience sure to delight. It delves deep into concepts that will leave you thinking about the film for days after and begs for repeat viewing.

Children of the Pines is definitely worth the watch. It's an incredible stylish study on the darkness within each one of us. I can't recommend the film enough!
