Drawing inspiration from classics like Friday the 13th, filmmaker Jonas Trukanas has made his narrative feature debut with the slasher movie We Might Hurt Each Other (you might also see it referred to as Rupintojelis or Pensive) – which also happens to have been the first slasher movie to be made in Lithuania! It’s good to see another country finally catch up on the awesomeness of producing slasher movies. We Might Hurt Each Other has now been released through the Screambox streaming service as a Screambox original, and you can watch a trailer for the film in the embed above.
I was given the heads-up on this project by my colleague Mike Conway, who thought it might be right up my alley due to the fact that Friday the 13th is my favorite horror franchise. And he was correct. I’m always hoping to find another good slasher movie to watch,...

Slashers are rarely a hard sell. Find a group of teens, plonk them in the woods and send a raving maniac after them with something sharp. It’s horror at its simplest and most entertaining. Even the bad ones deliver enough fun and catharsis to almost always satisfy a hardcore genre crowd. In fact, these days, nearly half a century on, most are very deliberately derivative. It’s part of the charm. Sure, the good ones – those that understand the careful chemistry of horror and comedy – stand head and shoulders above the rest. But ultimately, a body count is enough.
So to stand out and do something genuinely different with the genre, as Lithuanian director Jonas Trukanas and his team do here, isn’t just brave – it’s also what some would call “stupid”. Subverting expectations is a dangerous game after all, especially when those expectations are as closely guarded...

Whilst outsiders may think of them as innately immoral, everyone familiar with slasher films will recognise that they’re built on a bedrock of conservative Judeo-Christian morality. This isn’t necessarily taken seriously by viewers, or by the people who create them, but nevertheless, as the rules laid out in Scream make clear, behaviour like taking illicit drugs or engaging in casual sex is quick to be punished, and cruel behaviour is often paid back in kind. Jonas Trukanas’ clever spin on familiar tropes looks at how this logic reflects some people’s take on real life, and explores what happens when it’s brought into contact with the moral systems most of us use in real life, and with characters who feel like real people.
