Plank Face
A man is taken captive by a feral family in the deep woods. They are determined to transform him, body and mind, into one of their own -- whether he likes it or not.
Why it matters
A brutal descent into primal terror that marries body horror with folk horror’s claustrophobic dread.
- Unflinching practical effects showcase grotesque transformations that linger in the memory.
- For fans of “The Hills Have Eyes” and “The Witch,” it’s a grim meditation on isolation and forced assimilation.
- The feral family’s unsettling dynamics evoke the darkest corners of rural nightmare folklore.
- Raw, relentless atmosphere traps you in a world where humanity is a fading echo—if you can stomach the slow-burn brutality, it’s a grimly rewarding trip.
