Living in Bondage

About This Movie

Living in Bondage is a curious piece from 1992 that dives into the darker side of ambition and greed. The pacing is a bit uneven, yet it builds a palpable tension as the protagonist immerses himself in a secret cult. The atmosphere is thick with dread, especially following his wife's ritual sacrifice. It’s haunting, really; as he gains wealth, the ghost of his wife becomes a persistent reminder of his moral decay. The performances, while not always polished, carry a raw intensity that reflects the film's themes of guilt and consequence. The practical effects during the cult rituals contrast sharply with the otherwise gritty realism, making it a distinctive entry in the genre. Worth exploring for its unique take on the price of success.
