Locus of Control

About This Movie

Locus of Control presents a fascinating blend of genres, weaving comedy with horror and drama in a way that feels fresh. The film's atmosphere is tinged with a creeping dread, which contrasts sharply with the absurdity of Andrew's life as a teacher. His struggle with anxiety and the pressure to succeed in stand-up adds a relatable layer to his character. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, balancing darker moments with dry humor. The performances, particularly Andrew's, capture that awkwardness in such a genuine way that you can't help but feel for him. There's also an intriguing use of practical effects that punctuates the horror elements, giving it an edge. It’s definitely one of those films that lingers in your mind.
