Addict

About This Movie

So, 'Addict' kind of sneaks up on you, right? It’s got this gritty, almost oppressive atmosphere that really pulls you into David's spiral. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as you witness his descent into addiction. The film plays with themes of desire and desperation, and it’s unsettling to watch his choices unravel. The practical effects are effective, not overdone, which adds to the rawness of his struggles. The performances, though from an unknown director, have this haunting quality that sticks with you. You feel for him, but at the same time, there's this unsettling distance that makes it hard to fully empathize. It's a unique mix and definitely leaves an impression, for better or worse.
