Insomniac is one of those indie horror flicks that lingers long after the credits roll. The tension is palpable as a mother and her son find themselves stranded in a desolate stretch of woods—just a car, a fading daylight, and an escalating sense of dread. The atmospheric use of sound really amplifies the unease, creeping under your skin. The pacing, at times slow, builds a sense of looming danger that pays off in chilling ways. It’s not just about jump scares; there’s a rawness to the performances that feels genuine. Practical effects here are surprisingly effective, adding a gritty realism to the horror. It’s a film that explores parental fears and the primal instinct to survive, making it distinct in its approach.
