Sarah Zurell

Sarah Zurell’s filmography in 2010 is, well, kind of a wild ride if you think about it. Look at “Pelt”—it’s not your average bear (pun fully intended). Bunch of friends wander into the woods, right? They’re definitely not following the “don’t split up” rule, and, surprise, things get bloody fast. There’s a rawness to it that’s kinda hard to shake off. It’s not just gore for the sake of it—Zurell adds this vibe that makes you actually care if the characters make it out, which, let’s be real, is rare for indie horror. Jump over to “Game Night,” and you’re in a completely different lane. This one’s about a group of friends who probably take board games way too seriously. It’s got that mix of awkward laughs and genuine stakes when competition gets ugly. Zurell pulls off the “I’m chill but also dangerously competitive” energy, making the whole thing feel less like a script and more like you’re actually at a slightly unhinged house party. Then there’s “Casual: The Series.” It’s not just another web series lost in the shuffle. It’s got bite—snappy dialogue, weirdly relatable situations, and Sarah brings that offbeat charm that makes you root for her, even when she’s making questionable life choices. She’s got this knack for playing characters who are a little bit messy but totally engaging. So, yeah, 2010 was kind of her year to try on a bunch of hats, and honestly, she wears them all like she was born for it.
