Description: The 2021 film *We Need to Do Something* is available for download in high-quality formats like 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Based on a novella by Max Booth III, the story was adapted into a screenplay by the author himself. The success of Booth’s 2020 novel *Touch the Night*, published by Cemetery Dance, helped garner attention for this project. Although the novella and screenplay were completed before the COVID-19 pandemic, director Sean King O’Grady found parallels between the story and America’s response to the crisis. He described the narrative as a chilling allegory that captures the collective trauma experienced during that time.
Filmed entirely on a soundstage in Michigan over four weeks in late 2020, the production was kept under wraps until its completion. Due to the pandemic, strict safety measures were implemented, including a reduced crew size. *We Need to Do Something* is a psychological horror film starring Sierra McCormick, Vinessa Shaw, and Pat Healy. It follows a family trapped in their bathroom during a tornado and marks the first film production from Spin a Black Yarn Productions, co-founded by Josh Malerman and Ryan Lewis.
The movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2021 and was theatrically released by IFC Films on September 3, 2021. It received mixed reviews, earning a 65% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its timely and claustrophobic atmosphere despite its occasional lack of focus. Meagan Navarro of *Bloody Disgusting* awarded it a 2.5/5, noting that the film relies heavily on the audience’s imagination to visualize the horrors unfolding within the confined setting.
