Son
SON may not win points for narrative originality, but it makes up for that with a distinct visual style and palpable dread. It’s not what happens that makes SON work so well, but how Kavanagh once again delivers potent chills and an ominous atmosphere. Matichak imbues a straightforward earnestness that gives emotional stakes. For a movie that hinges on a ferocious mother’s determination to save her child, she brings Laura right up to evil’s edge without ever losing authenticity along the way, culminating in an unforgettable conclusion that leaves a mark.
