Picked by Felix
The scouts
A six-minute werewolf hunt that flips the whodunit into a paranoia spiral—you think you're watching a genre thriller, then the film asks you to question whether the hunt itself is the real monster. Kissack's got the subversive instinct to make you uncomfortable about which side you're rooting for.
Competent execution of familiar mystery-thriller mechanics, grounded in recognizable folk-horror tradition, though the pacing feels slight for a prestige program and the formal choices don't quite distinguish it from the lineage it inhabits.
The tension lives in a single choice: the cutting pattern that keeps you uncertain whether the accused is guilty or simply the village's chosen sacrifice—that rhythmic doubt is what makes six minutes feel genuinely taut rather than rushed.
