The Block Island Sound(Review)

A weird Lovecraftian film and maybe extraterrestrials could be involved, The Block Island Sound is one of those that will challenge your perceptions of reality and the unreal.

The plot sees the entire community of Block Island being affected by dark and mysterious influences. The wildlife and some humans are the ones most affected and it’s up to our characters to discover what is behind it all.

We never see what is responsible, but we are given clues to point it is alien in nature. We hear growling and it can even use electronics to amplify it’s effects. The people affected go out to a spot in the middle of the ocean where the being(beings) then take them. It will remind you a bit of Nope during those sequences.

Using atmosphere and disturbing situations to invoke strangeness is what this movie does best. One of the characters begins hallucinating, and seeing his father appearing to him. Those parts got really unnerving.
All in all, it’s a weird movie, not particularly too scary. It’s a slow burn as well. But it will contain lines that will make you think on things, especially towards the end. The ending gives us clues as to what the otherworldly being(beings) are after.

This one is currently streaming on Netflix if you decide to check it out.
