Psychopomp

About This Movie

So, 'Psychopomp' is an intriguing dive into the mind of a guy wrestling with his own shadow. Archie Finch, the director, grapples with amnesia in this eerie landscape, piecing together fragments of his past. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can really feel the weight of his struggle. The pacing is deliberately slow, drawing you deeper into his psyche while the specter adds this surreal layer that keeps you guessing what's real. The practical effects are subtle but effective, enhancing the unsettling vibe rather than overshadowing the story. Performances have this raw edge, especially the lead, pulling off a delicate balance of confusion and fear. It’s a unique blend of horror and psychological thriller that lingers after the credits roll.
