Out of Focus

About This Movie

Out of Focus is a curious blend of horror and metaphysical themes, driven by a young woman's struggle with her mind powers. The atmosphere is thick with tension and an eerie sense of dread, which really pulls you in. I found the pacing a bit uneven at times; it takes a while to really ramp up, but once it does, it dives into some intense supernatural confrontations. Practical effects here are quite striking, adding an authentic texture to the horror elements. The performances, particularly by the lead, are compelling despite some occasional overacting. It’s distinctive for its exploration of shamanism and the battle against a relentless evil force, and the way it intertwines those concepts makes it stand out in the genre.
