Dummy

About This Movie

Dummy (2023) is an interesting piece in the modern horror landscape. Bill, the protagonist, feels very relatable—his life is pretty ordinary until Anne, a respiratory dummy, appears. The way the film builds tension is commendable; it starts off with this surreal charm but gradually shifts into something darker. The practical effects used for Anne are unsettling, making the viewer question what's real and what's not. There’s this nice slow burn that captures the dread of loneliness and the creeping realization that maybe some things shouldn't be brought home. The performances are solid, especially Bill's, as he navigates the bizarre and terrifying scenarios. You can really feel the isolation and paranoia seep into every scene.

Unique take on the horror genre with a focus on psychological elements.Practical effects elevate the unsettling atmosphere throughout.Themes of isolation and the supernatural blend seamlessly.
