A fascinating slow burn that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Within eighty minutes, HAZE shows a bleak portrait of a town with a dark history. While it’s beautiful to look at, the film doesn’t fare as well in its writing. Films like these perform a balancing act of how much to overtly explain, and likewise what to leave up for interpretation. HAZE tends to lean more towards the latter, which hurts the viewing experience. Overall, it’s definitely worth a watch and even a rewatch. All that’s left is for it to drop on Shudder.
