The Geekz head into brutal territory in our 31 Days of Horror marathon with The Brute (2025) — the latest nightmare from director Marcel Walz, reimagining the 1976 cult classic with a savage modern twist. When Raquel and her girlfriend break down on a deserted highway, they stumble upon what appears to be an abandoned mine — only to discover a violent family of masked killers lurking in the shadows. As their friends arrive in a nearby town called Savage, they uncover its gruesome history of bloodshed… and realize the nightmare has only just begun.

In our review, we break down the film's relentless pacing, gritty atmosphere, and shocking kills that push the boundaries of backwoods horror. We'll talk about Walz's disturbing visual style, the performances that make this low-budget shocker feel uncomfortably real, and how The Brute (2025) reinvents rural horror for a new generation. Is this modern remake a brutal masterpiece — or just a bloody descent into chaos? Find out as we continue reviewing 31 horror movies for 31 days of October!
