I Need

About This Movie

I Need is one of those films that lingers in your mind like an unsettling dream. The story follows a young girl descending into schizophrenia and nymphomania after a traumatic childhood experience, exploring the dark recesses of the human psyche with a raw intensity. The pacing is languid, almost hypnotic, which amplifies the sense of dread and confusion. It’s not your typical narrative; instead, it feels more like a series of vignettes that capture the dissonance of the protagonist's life. The performances are haunting, with a palpable sense of desperation that really makes you feel for the character. The practical effects, while minimal, are impactful in their own right, adding to the film's gritty atmosphere.

I Need seems to have slipped under the radar for many, which makes it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. Be prepared for the scarcity of good prints; it hasn't seen a proper re-release in ages, and originals can be quite hard to track down. Its unique subject matter and experimental aesthetic make it a point of interest for those who appreciate the raw edges of cinema. It’s certainly not for everyone, but that’s part of its allure for serious collectors.
