Ascension

About This Movie

Ascension is a curious blend of drama and horror that feels both ethereal and chaotic. The premise is wild—humans, granted the power of miracles, spiral into madness and envy after the Creator is slain. There's a tangible dread that permeates the film, the practical effects are gritty, which really adds to its unsettling atmosphere. It tackles the heavy theme of humanity's struggle with power and morality, exploring what happens when we push the boundaries of existence. The pacing might feel uneven at times, but it contributes to the overall tension. The performances, though not from well-known actors, carry a raw intensity that connects surprisingly well with the viewer. It’s definitely distinctive in how it portrays the fragility of divinity and humanity.
