Pseudonym

About This Movie

So, 'Pseudonym' from 2015. It’s got this palpable tension right from the start, which really hooks you. The story follows Alex, a guy who's just buried in his corporate life. You can feel that weight, the stifling routine he’s trapped in. The pacing is interesting; it builds slowly before everything unravels during his date with this mysterious woman. It's not just a thriller, but a deep dive into the perils of online connections and the masks we wear. The performances are decent, especially from the lead—he brings that stressed-out dad vibe well. While the director might be unknown, the atmosphere—dark and foreboding—definitely leaves its mark. Practical effects are minimal, but there’s a rawness to the film that works in its favor.

Intriguing exploration of online identity · Tension builds effectively throughout · Strong portrayal of ordinary life gone awry
