The Mousetrap
Alexey returns from war, but the war refuses to release him. Instead of peace, he finds himself in a derelict house on the city's edge, where every floorboard creak echoes with gunfire. He's haunted not only by memories but by suspicious neighbors whose gazes seem to track prey. This 2025 drama thriller explores the limits of trust in a society where anyone can become either victim or hunter. Gradually, Alexey realizes the trap has sprung not around him, but because of him, and he must now decide whether to remain the target or become the one holding the trigger.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs tension through minimalist interiors and a muted color palette, where every frame feels like a lurking threat. Sound design operates on contrast—silence shattered by abrupt noises mirroring the protagonist's psyche.
Those who appreciate slow-burn psychological erosion will find the descent into paranoia compelling. What lingers is the unsettling ambiguity about survival's moral cost. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Serhii Kastornykh
