Parallel Lives

About This Movie

Parallel Lives dives deep into the unsettling realities of mental illness, weaving a tense narrative that keeps you on edge. The film’s tone is dark, with an atmosphere thick enough to cut with a knife. I found the pacing interesting—slow burn at first, but it builds up to moments that really jolt you. The intertwining stories of the two protagonists, both grappling with their demons, create a haunting resonance that lingers. Practical effects are used cleverly, enhancing the horror without overshadowing the human element. The performances feel raw and genuine, which adds an unsettling layer that makes you question what's real and what's not. Definitely a unique take on the psychological thriller genre.
