About This Movie

Glaistig dives into the eerie corners of the human psyche, where the lines between memory and reality blur. The atmospheric tension builds as this young woman grapples with her dark visions, and the pacing really captures that unsettling dread. The practical effects, though not over the top, serve to enhance the sense of dread without overshadowing the story. The performances are raw, especially as the protagonist struggles to convince her friends of her experiences, which feels all too relatable. There’s a haunting quality to the woods, almost a character in itself, which amplifies the film’s themes of isolation and disbelief. It’s an unusual take on the horror genre that plays with mental anguish rather than just relying on jump scares.
