New Religion

About This Movie

New Religion has this eerie, unsettling vibe that really sticks with you. The pacing is slow, building tension as we dive into Miyabi's world, a divorced mother grappling with grief in a really raw way. The horror elements come not just from the supernatural, but from the very human trauma she faces. The odd requests from her clients, like photographing her spine and feet, add a surreal layer that feels both disturbing and oddly poignant. There’s a heavy atmosphere throughout, underscored by the exploration of body and spirit. The practical effects, though limited, hit hard when they do show up. It’s a haunting piece that lingers well after the credits roll, especially for those who appreciate the exploration of grief in unconventional narratives.
