Clearcut
A white lawyer finds his values shaken when he is paired with an angry Indigenous activist who insists on kidnapping the head of a logging company to teach him the price of his destruction.
Why it matters
A tense, unsettling descent into eco-political horror that confronts colonial violence and environmental destruction with unflinching grit.
- Early '90s Canadian horror that blends social critique with psychological thriller intensity.
- Indigenous activist character challenges the complacency of settler society in a way rarely seen in genre films of its era.
- Sparse, moody atmosphere amplifies the moral ambiguity and mounting dread.
- Fans of slow-burn, politically charged horror with a sharp edge will find this a provocative, if occasionally uneven, experience.
