Verdict on Trim Season
Trim Season is a horror thriller following a group of women that get selected to help at a cannabis farm. While the money is promising the group to find their role perfect fit for two weeks away. However, they find themselves involved in a darker problem in which they must fight their way out.
This horror gets to use the isolated location with a group of people taking part in something illegal to create an isolated environment for the characters. It has a disturbing opening sequence that we want answers about. However, it does take a while before we learn the truth, which is even more shocking than we could have expected.
Director Ariel Vida has come learnt a lot from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. The decisions in this movie bring the same unknown disturbing connection to something bigger. It keeps everything unease and the truth is even more shocking than you could have imagined.
Final Thoughts –Trim Season is a crackling, disturbing and shocking movie.
