Delirium

About This Movie

Delirium (2013) really dives into some unsettling territory, you know? The film’s atmosphere is thick with dread, almost claustrophobic at times. The way it plays with time and perception, looping around the themes of death and obsession, leaves you feeling a bit off-kilter. The psychiatrist’s journey is fascinating, as he navigates this dark family dynamic. The practical effects, while not overdone, carry a weight that enhances the overall eeriness. The performances, especially from the leads, are gripping; they really embody their characters’ spirals into madness. It’s distinctive for its slow burn, not your typical crime drama, but rather a deep dive into the psyche and the murkiness of human emotions.

The film's pacing is deliberately slow, adding to the tension. · Themes of mortality and obsession are prominent throughout. · Practical effects enhance the unsettling atmosphere.
