Machination

About This Movie

Machination (2022) is an unsettling blend of drama, horror, and thriller, capturing the raw anxiety of isolation during a pandemic. The film dives deep into the psyche of a woman grappling with her fears, and it’s not just the external chaos that haunts her; it's the monsters that lurk within. The pacing feels deliberately slow at times, amplifying the tension, and really lets you sit with the unease. Practical effects are utilized sparingly but effectively, highlighting moments that feel all too real. Performances are layered; the lead really illustrates that internal struggle. It’s distinctive in how it captures the human condition amidst a crisis, melding personal trauma with a broader societal collapse.
