Design of Death

About This Movie

Design of Death is one of those films that grabs your attention with its slow burn. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, as it unravels this tightly knit village torn apart by secrets. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer as each character's motives are laid bare. It’s not flashy, but there’s something to be said for its practical effects, which lend a rawness to the violence that feels more impactful than CGI. The performances, though from lesser-known actors, carry a weight that’s hard to shake off. The whole thing feels like a study on human nature, revealing how paranoia and resentment can fester in small communities. It’s distinctive in its execution, really draws you into the murky moral waters.
