Michel Tourscher

Michel Tourscher’s name is buzzing around for good reason—he’s the brains behind "Squad 36" (2025), a film that doesn’t mess around. The story drags you straight into the thick of it: a battered squad of misfits, tossed together by fate (or maybe just bad luck), forced to navigate the chaos of a world gone sideways. War’s raging, but nobody’s really sure who’s winning—if anyone is. You’ve got hardened veterans, jittery rookies, and that one sarcastic medic who probably should’ve quit ages ago. Honestly, it’s not your cookie-cutter “hero saves the day” gig. The film digs deeper, poking at the messy stuff—loyalty, paranoia, betrayal. Friendships form and crack under pressure while orders from above get murkier by the minute. Everything’s constantly on the verge of falling apart, which, let’s be real, feels uncomfortably close to real life sometimes. There’s this tension that never lets up, and just when you think you’ve figured out who’s got whose back, someone flips the script. Tourscher doesn’t hold your hand through the carnage or sugarcoat the ugly bits. The action scenes? Gritty as hell, brutal, and weirdly beautiful in that “can’t-look-away” way. The dialogue’s sharp, with plenty of gallows humor to keep things from getting too bleak. You might find yourself laughing at the worst moments, which, yeah, probably says something about surviving chaos. In short: "Squad 36" isn’t here to make you feel comfortable. It’s raw, unpredictable, and hits a nerve. Tourscher nails the vibe of people just trying to get through the day—no capes, no guarantees, just survival.
