Fiber Optics

About This Movie

Fiber Optics is an intriguing blend of horror and romance, featuring a claymation artist who feels utterly isolated in both his art and life. The animation style really brings the creepy atmosphere to life—it's all so tactile and handmade, which adds a layer of intimacy to the unsettling themes. There’s a disconnection that runs through the narrative, both in terms of the protagonist's struggles with his craft and his struggles with human connection. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might frustrate some, but I found it complements the protagonist's psychological state. It’s not your typical horror flick, leaning more into a surreal and introspective vibe, making it stand out in a crowded genre. Worth noting the practical effects—very effective in creating that eerie tone.
