Ex Creta

About This Movie

Ex Creta is an intriguing piece of animation that dives into the uncanny. The atmosphere is thick with tension as we follow a group of bored roommates, whose mundane existence spirals into something darker when they start spying on their neighbor. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to soak in the eeriness of the ritual unfolding next door. What stands out is how the film plays with themes of voyeurism and the mundane turning sinister. The animation itself leans into a gritty style, almost jarring at times, which complements the unsettling tone. You can feel the weight of the characters' boredom, and the performances, albeit animated, bring a rawness that keeps you engaged. It's distinctive in how it blurs the line between the everyday and the disturbing.
