About This Movie

So, MJ (2018) is a wild ride combining horror and thriller elements. It captures this eerie vibe of our post-millennial society, where social media can warp someone’s perception. The pacing is unsettlingly slow at first, which builds a sense of dread, and then it spirals into chaos as the protagonist’s obsession deepens. Not a lot of big-name actors here, but the performances are raw and haunting. Practical effects are surprisingly effective, adding a gritty realism that complements the film’s themes of alienation and identity. There’s this pervasive tension throughout, making you feel uncomfortable, yet you can’t look away. It’s distinctive in how it tackles the dark side of social media addiction without getting preachy.
