Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn is having a huge moment between his breakout in the Netflix role, his recent starring turn in A Quiet Place: Day One, and his upcoming appearance as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the MCU’s Fantastic Four film. It’s no wonder that Hoard, an indie movie in which he has a supporting role, is getting a much larger platform than it otherwise would, considering his popularity. As for the movie itself, it’s a conventional story told from an unconventional perspective, resulting in an incredibly uneven entry into the genre.

Hoard Review

Hoard follows a young woman through two time periods — her youth, when her mom was a hoarder, and her teenage years in foster care, where she is forced to unbury traumas that have long been repressed. Carmoon’s coming-of-age story clearly tries to use this very specific experience to channel more universal emotions.
