Russell Wangersky

Sharp Corner (2024) rolls out with a vibe that’s anything but predictable. Russell Wangersky—yeah, he’s got a knack for digging into the weird corners of human nature—delivers a story that’s equal parts tense and quietly unsettling. The plot? Well, you’re tossed into a small town that looks ordinary, but there’s always something simmering just under the surface. People gossip, secrets twist around like ivy, and the air feels heavy with things unsaid. You meet these characters who are rough around the edges, you know, nobody’s really squeaky clean. The main guy, he’s just trying to get through his days after some ugly past stuff, but trouble seems to find him like a lost dog. Suddenly he’s caught up in this mess involving his neighbors, a missing person, and a whole bunch of buried grudges. Everyone’s got something to hide—old betrayals, new lies, and more than a few regrets. The whole thing unfolds with this slow-burn tension, kinda like you’re waiting for a storm to break. The town itself almost feels alive, pressing in on everyone, making them do things they probably never thought they would. There’s a sense of claustrophobia, like the walls are closing in, and no matter how hard you try, the truth claws its way out. By the end, you’re left questioning who’s really the villain, and if anyone’s actually innocent. It’s gritty, it’s raw, and honestly, it sticks with you way after the credits roll.
