The Block Island Sound

The Block Island sound is a horror film that seems like it’s going to be about one thing, before making a surprising revelation about what’s happening in the third act. As such, this is a film that I can’t really talk about in detail without delving into some major spoilers. However, I will say that after receiving some mainstream success as the producers of both Cobra Kai and American Vandal, Kevin and Matthew McManus return to their horror root with a quite solid thriller.

The Block Island Sound screens again at the 2020 Fantasia Film Festival on September 1, 2020, at 11:10 PM
