Abandoned

About This Movie

So, 'Abandoned' from 2022 dives into some pretty heavy themes surrounding postpartum psychosis. The atmosphere is thick, almost oppressive, and you can feel the isolation of the farmhouse seep into every scene. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build slowly, which I think really heightens the horror elements. It also delves into the psychological aspect, which can hit close to home for many. The practical effects are nice and gritty, not overly polished, which adds a raw edge to the scares. Performances are solid, especially the lead; you can really sense her unraveling. It’s interesting how the house itself becomes a character, revealing secrets that mirror her own struggles. Worth a look for those who appreciate more cerebral horror.

Explores themes of mental health and isolation.Strong atmospheric tension throughout.Unique blend of psychological and supernatural elements.
