The movie
Kat lives at an isolated boarding school in the middle of the American country side. As classes and prayers make up most of her days, there is only one thing she is looking forward to: for her parents to take her away for the holidays. But they never come. Even worse yet, no one knows where they are. Trapped in a dull place, she is left practically alone, save for a couple of minders and Rose, a class- mate who is staying by choice. Things look even grimier when strange and troubling events start occurring... February is a powerful and claustrophobic horror feature that skilfully transcends the audience’s expectations to better explore the problems of adolescence and the approach of adulthood. But here, the shocks come from the psychological and emotional ordeal articulated through believable characters and clever writing. Osgood Perkins’s first film is a sensible and disquieting piece of cinema that unravels the pain of loneliness by reviving universal traumas.
