Teenagers plan an all-night party at a country house the day after graduation. Marius was shy about signing up, but when the deal on the house falls through, he manages to find a new place -- mainly to impress the girl he is secretly in love with. The graduates arrive at a remote cottage, hell bent on partying hard. When Marius suggests they find branches and twigs for the barbecue, several strange wooden statues are pulled from their circle on the grounds. Soon after, a mysterious masked man starts killing everyone in sight, except for Marius.

3/5
Pensive is an entertaining and satisfyingly gory slasher combining over-the-top kills with characters similarly to TV show Skins. Go to Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside 07/20/2023
3/5
Festive youths gruesomely dying due to their misbehavior and ill-timing sounds tired, but We Might Hurt Each Other is a fresh take on an overused routine. It’s proof that a slasher’s success entirely depends on the execution. Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky Nightmarish Conjurings 07/11/2023

Full of betrayal, growth, love, and pain, WE MIGHT HURT EACH OTHER is a strong slasher coming out of Lithuania. Go to Full Review Kyle Logan ScreenAnarchy 06/26/2023
More than anything else: the film looks amazing. ... Its commitment to character and ability to engage with socially meaningful ideas without becoming more PSA than horror film make it worth seeking out for horror fans. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN 03/14/2023

Jonas Trukanas’ feature film debut is a heady mixture of the two popular genres, that despite its warring influences, sticks together quite well. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 03/13/2023

Thom G 04/03/2024 "We might hurt each other" defies expectations with its twists and turns. It's psychologically sophisticated, nuanced, and realistic, adeptly portraying a variety of late teen social dynamics. On top of that, it's a great horror film! See more Christina B 03/02/2024 "Pensive (2023) played at FrightFest Glasgow in March 2023, an arm of the U.K.'s largest international thriller, fantasy, and horror movie festival. The film takes place within a dark rural landscape and combines psychological horror with more conventional gore and jump-scares. Director Jonas Trukanas and his co-writer, Titas Laucius, started developing Pensive‘s screenplay in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic as Lithuania and other countries went into lockdown. Indeed, the claustrophobia of this writing environment seems to have created a heady and memorable film that reflects themes of isolation and confinement. Putting the spotlight on a troubled teenage protagonist, Pensive is a mash-up of teen slasher and folk horror's most memorable elements."
