Prime Video has the perfect Halloween binge for fans of psychological survival horror, and it is quietly trending four years after its premiere. The movie follows a trauma survivor recovering from an abusive relationship, who joins a therapy group on a weekend retreat in the Rocky Mountains, only to be hunted by a terrifying, unseen presence in the wilderness.
Written and directed by Berkley Brady in her directorial debut, the sleeper hit premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival in 2022 and then received a limited theatrical release across North America on May 19, 2023, followed by a VOD release four days later. Now, the horror film is gaining popularity on Prime Video as subscribers flock to stream ahead of Halloween, thereby contributing to it ranking among the ten most-watched titles overall this past week on the streamer. U.S. subscribers also appear to approve of the movie as it has consistently been the seventh most-watched show on Prime Video for more than five days and counting.
Aptly described as The Ritual meets The Invisible Man, Dark Nature is the Prime Video sleeper hit you need for Halloween. The Canadian film perfectly blends the isolated, monster-in-the-woods survival horror of The Ritual with the paranoia and domestic trauma of The Invisible Man. It holds a 72% critics’ rating from 18 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with some praising Brady’s direction and the strong female ensemble, featuring Hannah Emily Anderson, Helen Belay, Madison Walsh, Roseanne Supernault and Kyra Harper.
