Check in weekly for our frightening dissection of all the latest new horror movies streaming now. Today, we apply the scalpel to Beth de Araujo's chillingly controversial Soft & Quiet (2022).
Read on for a full autopsy.
Shockingly barbaric, brutal, and unrelentingly ruthless, Soft and Quiet (2022) is the kind of film you only ever watch once, and that haunts you for a liftetime.
Delivering a deeply uncomfortable watch, Soft & Quiet (2022) explores the chilling culmination of when racial hatred is fostered within a rabid mob mentality.
The moment Emily (Stefanie Estes) dishes out slices of a cake emblazoned with a nazi swaztika on the crust, you know it's the set up for a shockingly provocative story.
But what follows is a gruesome, no-holds-barred societal assault harrowingly unflinching in its violent depravity.
Story wise, Soft & Quiet (2022) follows a group of far-right leaning females, who, after inacting a racially motivated attack in a supermarket, decide to continue terrorising the victims by breaking into their house.
As events savagely escalate out of control, we witness a bloody act of hysteria-induced barbarism, made all the more frightening by the gang's ruthless commitment to the cause.
Similar to Clockwork Orange in many ways, Soft & Quiet (2022) leaves you with that sickening feeling smothering the pit of your stomach.
Except in this film, it's inescapable. Impressively shot in real-time as if symbolic of a live action movie, there's a raw chaoticness to the feral vehemence playing out on screen that lingers in the psyche long after the credits cease.
Soft & Quiet (2022), not for the faint of heart, is by far the year's most shockingly controversial horror film.
Watch, by all means, but you have been warned, my hellish horror hounds.
