Headspace

About This Movie

Headspace is one of those films that plays with the mind in more ways than one. Directed by Andrew van den Houten, it carries a gritty, eerie vibe that seeps into your bones. The story follows Alex Borden, a 25-year-old whose intelligence skyrockets after a fateful meeting, but man, does it come with a sinister twist. The connection between his expanding intellect and the brutal murders creates this tension that’s palpable. The practical effects are a nice nod to horror roots, grounding the supernatural elements in something visceral. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, whose internal struggle feels real. The pacing keeps you on edge, making it a distinct watch in the horror-sci-fi blend. It’s not just about the scares; it’s about the psychological unraveling and the dark paths of the mind.
