Kelley Hartmann

Kelley Hartmann’s got this knack for picking projects that get under your skin—seriously, look at her filmography and tell me you don’t get chills. “It Comes at Night” (2017) is one wild ride, all tension and paranoia. You’ve got this family hiding out in the woods, right? They’re holed up, convinced something nasty is out there (and honestly, they’re not wrong). The whole atmosphere is so claustrophobic, you might find yourself checking your locks twice before bed. Nobody trusts anyone, not even their so-called allies, and the way Hartmann moves through those scenes—there’s this constant sense of dread. You never know who’s about to snap. Then there’s “October 8” (2025), which, okay, hasn’t dropped yet, but people are buzzing. Word is, it’s got a fresh take on time travel—none of that cheap sci-fi nonsense. Hartmann’s character? Apparently caught between fixing the past and surviving the mess she’s landed in. She brings this raw honesty to the role; you can practically feel the desperation leaking out of the screen. If you’re into stories where fate just keeps yanking the rug out from under people, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for this one. Oh, and don’t sleep on “The Path” (2016). That show’s all culty mind games and moral ambiguity. Hartmann’s performance is subtle, but it’s got teeth—she’s not just another pawn in the story. The way she handles the emotional twists? Chef’s kiss. Overall, her work just hits different, full of tension and humanity, even when things get weird.
