Alp

About This Movie

So, 'Alp' is this unsettling horror flick from 2016 that dives deep into the psyche of its main character, Chris. He’s coming back home after some heavy trauma, and honestly, the way the film builds dread is pretty impressive. It's not the usual jump scares; it plays with sleep paralysis which gives it this eerie, nightmarish quality. The atmosphere feels claustrophobic, like you're trapped in his mind. The practical effects, when they happen, hit hard and add a raw edge to the supernatural elements. It does take its time, which might not be for everyone, but if you appreciate a slow burn that leans heavily on psychological horror, this one has a specific flavor to it that stands out.
