Bennett LeBarre

Bennett LeBarre, honestly, isn’t exactly a household name—yet. But the dude’s been making some pretty wild moves in the indie film world. Just check out his run, starting with “Becoming” back in 2020. That one’s all about transformation—literally and metaphorically. You’ve got this character unraveling their own identity, getting tangled up in all these weird, trippy situations, and it’s got that vibe where you’re never really sure what’s real and what’s just in their head. Kinda messes with you, in a good way. Jump to 2023, and LeBarre is flipping the script (pun intended) with “Reverse the Curse.” Total left turn from his earlier stuff. This film leans hard into dark comedy and has a little supernatural twist. It’s like, you think you’re getting a quirky family drama, but then all these bizarre, cursed events start popping off. The characters are a hot mess, but you root for them anyway, even when they make terrible choices. It’s got some sharp dialogue, too—snappy, not afraid to poke fun at itself. And honestly, the way he plays with genre? Pretty gutsy. Now, “Lake George” (2024) is his latest, and, wow, he really goes for it. The story drags you into this eerie lakeside town that’s hiding way too many secrets. There’s a missing person, a bunch of suspicious locals, and a mood that’s just dripping with tension. You spend half the movie wondering who’s lying, who’s in danger, and if the lake itself is hiding something supernatural. LeBarre’s style just keeps evolving—he’s not afraid to get weird, and it pays off.
