Bring Them Down
Bring Them Down
An Irish shepherding family thrust into battle on several fronts: internal strife, hostility within the family, rivalry with another farmer. Paternalism, heritage, and the generational trauma cycle through the cultural prism of Ireland.

Bring Them Down is a dark and gritty thriller that pulls no punches. Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott deliver gripping performances in this bleak, slow-burn tale of feuding rural neighbors caught in an escalating cycle of violence. The tension is suffocating, the atmosphere drenched in despair—exactly my kind of cinema. That said, the reports of unsettling animal cruelty are legit, so animal lovers, beware. It can be a tough watch at time.
