Consumed

About This Movie

Consumed is an interesting blend of drama and horror that takes its time to explore the emotional landscape of a young girl grappling with change. The atmosphere is thick with dread, particularly as she imagines a monster manifesting in her home post her mother's hospital stay. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for a slow build that really enhances the tension. What stands out here are the practical effects—there's a tangible quality to the creature that feels almost like a character in its own right. Performances are solid, especially from the young lead, who conveys both vulnerability and a creeping sense of fear. It’s a film that dives into themes of anxiety and the unknown, rather than relying solely on jump scares.
