Killing Small Animals

Killing Small Animals follows a quietly unsettling journey through a narrow set of ordinary moments that unravel into something ominously off-kilter. A young woman returns to a familiar town, where the lines between memory and reality blur as she encounters a series of peculiar encounters, coded conversations, and unsettling rituals. The film builds a taut mood of dread through restrained performances and meticulously observed detail, inviting viewers to piece together meaning from ambiguous interactions and the echo of past choices. As tension tightens, the narrative explores how ordinary spaces can conceal hidden motives and the fragile ways we navigate trust, memory, and self-deception.
