About This Movie

I, Desire is a curious blend of crime, horror, and thriller, weaving a narrative that feels both gritty and surreal. The pacing drifts between moments of tension and eerie stillness, allowing the atmosphere to settle in like a thick fog. Practical effects play a significant role here, bringing the darker themes to life with a rawness that feels authentic. The coroner's assistant, caught in a web of bizarre occurrences—vampires, a defrocked priest, and his girlfriend's hospital job—adds layers of intrigue. Performances range from the understated to the over-the-top, creating a unique texture. It's an oddball piece that stands apart in the genre, with a vibe that lingers long after the credits roll.
