Josh Harrington

Josh Harrington’s name started buzzing after his work on “He Never Left” (2023), and honestly, it’s easy to see why. This film isn’t just another run-of-the-mill thriller you forget about by the next morning—it digs under your skin. The story orbits a small, pretty average town that’s still haunted by a string of disappearances from years ago. People talk, rumors swirl, but life goes on—until, out of nowhere, someone from the original group who vanished just waltzes back in like they never left (yeah, the title’s a bit of a wink). The return is like lobbing a grenade into the town’s fragile peace. Suddenly, long-buried secrets start oozing out. Old friends don’t look so friendly anymore, and everyone’s got something they’d rather keep hidden. Harrington’s direction doesn’t spoon-feed you answers, either; he lets the tension simmer, piling on the suspicion and paranoia. The atmosphere? Thick enough to slice with a butter knife. What really hooks you, though, is how the movie refuses to paint anyone as totally innocent or guilty. Everyone’s got a past, and no one gets off clean. You end up questioning who you’d trust if your own world got turned upside down. The performances are raw, especially from the lead, who swings between vulnerable and downright unnerving. By the end, you’ll probably be side-eyeing your own neighbors. It’s one of those films that sticks with you, gnawing at your brain long after the credits roll. Not bad for a night’s entertainment, right?
