But it’s so subtle that it’ll leave you questioning whether it’s just your imagination.

Are they descending into madness, or is a larger, more sinister force at play here?

Elevating it all is the excellent cast with a feeling of genuine chemistry between them.

If you haven’t watched “Yellowjackets” yet, you should absolutely add it to your watchlist.

It strikes a perfect balance between serious drama, horror, and dark comedy.
