If you haven’t seen it, they introduce this rough but loving father and his adorable son. Their mother is dead and they clearly have developed a close bond. Then some teens from the city come in and the kid dies in a dirt biking accident. Not just dies, but you have to sit and watch his broken body lie on the ground until his father comes, picks him up and carries him to the house, where he manages to say “daddy” and then dies.

Except for an 80s monster movie, the acting is just way too good. Even the way the dad carries the kid like you’d actually carry a child his age, with his arms around him and his head on his shoulder, not lying across his arms, is just too real.

I went into it ready for a cheesy slasher monster flick, instead I’m fighting back tears ten minutes in.
