Near Death

About This Movie

So, there's this film called Near Death, which I stumbled upon one day. Set in a mountain cabin, it captures that tense atmosphere, you know? A group of friends are just trying to have a birthday bash, but everything spirals when this augmented reality tech test goes south. The pacing is tight, ramping up the anxiety as reality blurs with the virtual. The practical effects are worth noting—really adds to the unsettling vibe. Performances aren’t over the top, which keeps it feeling grounded, making the horror hit a little closer to home. It's one of those titles that linger in your mind long after the credits roll, especially with its themes about perception and reality.

Near Death has a bit of a hidden gem status among collectors, often overshadowed by bigger releases. There are early VHS copies floating around, but they are not exactly common. The film’s unique approach to augmented reality and practical effects gives it a distinct feel that sets it apart from typical cabin-in-the-woods horror. Interest has been growing lately, especially from fans of indie horror who appreciate its psychological depth.
