Drawing inspiration from classics like Friday the 13th, filmmaker Jonas Trukanas has made his narrative feature debut with the slasher movie We Might Hurt Each Other (you might also see it referred to as Rupintojelis or Pensive) – which also happens to have been the first slasher movie to be made in Lithuania! It’s good to see another country finally catch up on the awesomeness of producing slasher movies. We Might Hurt Each Other has now been released through the Screambox streaming service as a Screambox original, and you can watch a trailer for the film in the embed above.
I was given the heads-up on this project by my colleague Mike Conway, who thought it might be right up my alley due to the fact that Friday the 13th is my favorite horror franchise. And he was correct. I’m always hoping to find another good slasher movie to watch,...

Wooden sculptures of the Pensive Christ can be found in the weirdest spots all through the Baltic States. They combine folk art and Christian traditions into a singular entity concerning the fear of being judged. And that’s what is about to happen to the usually risk-averse Marius as he organises the venue for his wild high school graduation party at a remote cottage. For his drunken and drugged classmates destroy some life-size wooden statues and almost immediately a scarred, masked and mysterious killer starts picking them off one by mutilated one.
A typical kids go to the woods to party and get killed one by one is given a wrinkle in the stereotypical story, with a hero who is anything but. He is a bland, boring character with no purpose in life…...

With a busted lip and a bursting heart, an arm gone weirdly numb and pounding feet punishing a pair of pink Nikes throughout, Marija, as played by breakout Žygimantė Elena Jakštaitė, bears “Runner” aloft from frantic start to fraught finish like an Olympic torch.
An 87-minute-long anxiety attack masquerading as a movie — but in a good way — Lithuanian filmmaker Andrius Blaževičius’ sophomore feature is a kinetic portrayal of an extraordinary young woman paradoxically trapped at a psychological impasse. For all its adrenalized, blood-rush rhythms, the contrast makes “Runner” remarkably humane, as the nature of Marija’s mission yields unexpectedly trenchant insights into the sacrifices that carers will make for the ones in their care. Many pounding thrillers are about men and women running for their lives; few are about running — careening, hurtling to the brink of breakdown — for someone else’s.
The torch-carrying metaphor is appropriate: Marija is...
