Fang

About This Movie

Fang is a curious mix of drama and horror set against the bleak winter landscape of Chicago. The film dives deep into the troubled psyche of Billy Cochran, a young man struggling with isolation while his mother, Gina, drifts in and out of lucidity. The tension is palpable, enhanced by the visual contrasts between Gina's faded Southern belle memories and her current deteriorating state. The pacing is deliberate, forcing you to sit with the discomfort of their reality. The rat, a bizarre yet pivotal visitor, brings an unsettling energy, challenging the boundaries of sanity. The practical effects are subtle but effective, lending an air of authenticity to the horror elements. It’s raw, unpolished, and leaves you thinking about the fragility of human connections.

Unique blend of drama and horror · Strong themes of isolation and mental decline · Interesting use of practical effects
