Bait

About This Movie

So, 'Bait' (2025) kind of creeps under your skin, doesn't it? You've got this family, the Herrings, who end up in this dark basement after a car crash - classic setup, right? But it's the atmosphere that really nails it, all claustrophobic and tense. The creature, caged and desperate, adds a primal fear that lingers. There's this sinister overseer, too, who just makes everything more unsettling. The practical effects are refreshing in a time of CGI overload, giving the film a gritty edge. Performances are solid, capturing that raw desperation. The pacing might feel a bit uneven in parts, but it builds tension in a way that makes the dark moments hit harder.
