Agonist

About This Movie

Agonist is a haunting exploration of grief that marries the supernatural with psychological tension. The pacing is a slow burn, allowing the eerie atmosphere to seep into your bones. The cult elements really stand out, but it’s the raw performance of the lead that draws you in; you can feel his despair as he spirals deeper into madness. Practical effects are used with restraint, enhancing the unsettling tone rather than overshadowing the characters. There’s a peculiar sense of dread that lingers long after the credits roll, and the way it navigates themes of loss and manipulation adds layers to what might seem like a conventional horror narrative. You’ll either love it or find it hauntingly captivating.
