Blackout
Small town artist Charley is a tortured man whose drinking binges blur with his sneaking suspicion that he might be a werewolf. He distances himself from those he loves and sinks deeper into solitude, as his flashes of memory of his grisly nighttime acts manifest themselves through his artwork.
Why it matters
A grim descent into lycanthropic madness that blends psychological horror with body horror’s visceral unease.
- Charley’s fractured perspective turns the werewolf myth into a nightmarish internal battle, not just monster-on-the-loose scares.
- Practical effects and makeup deliver brutal, tactile transformations that recall classic ’80s creature work without nostalgia goggles.
- A slow-burning character study that pairs isolation and addiction with supernatural terror—perfect for fans of *The Wolfman* and *The Babadook*.
- Dark, moody small-town setting amplifies the sense of claustrophobia and paranoia, tapping into the loneliness behind the monster mythos.
