Automatic at Sea

About This Movie

Automatic at Sea offers a peculiar blend of adventure and mystery, all wrapped in a rather unsettling atmosphere. Eve's spontaneous trip to a secluded island turns into an exploration of isolation and the human psyche. The pacing is deliberately slow, which amplifies the tension as Eve grapples with Peter's increasingly erratic behavior. There's a palpable sense of dread that lingers, and the ambiguity of the characters keeps you guessing. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the film in a raw, tangible reality. Performances are nuanced; the chemistry—or lack thereof—between Eve and Peter really drives home the film's themes of disconnection and expectation versus reality. It's distinctive in its quiet approach to suspense, making it a fascinating watch for those who appreciate layered storytelling.
