An Absurd Thing

About This Movie

So, 'An Absurd Thing' is a curious mix of horror and mystery, with this unsettling vibe that lingers throughout. The film centers on Nam-joon, who finds this strange creature sprouting on his shoulder. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the tension to build slowly, which really enhances that sense of dread. The practical effects are noteworthy; there's a rawness to them that feels much more immersive than CGI. The performances, though from lesser-known actors, feel genuine and add depth to the story's oddities. It’s got this almost surreal quality, blending the absurd with the eerie, making you question what’s real and what’s not. Definitely distinctive in its approach, it’s one of those films that sticks with you—if you're into that sort of thing.
