Come and See
The invasion of a village in Belarus by German forces sends young Florya into the forest to join the weary Resistance fighters, against his family's wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha, who accompanies him back to his village. On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war becomes increasingly nightmarish, a battle between despair and hope.
Although framed as a WWII drama, the film's core experience relies on visceral, nightmare-like depictions of violence, fear, and existential dread. Horror mechanisms—atrocity imagery, psychological terror, and disturbing scenes—are essential to its impact; removing them would fundamentally alter how the film feels.
Best for viewers looking for a atmosphere-heavy, psychological and slow-burning horror movie.
