Recoil

About This Movie

So, 'Recoil'—it’s this offbeat blend of horror and sci-fi that really leans into that eerie high school vibe. You've got a teenager who dives into a homework assignment that spirals into something much darker. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the feeling of dread. The atmosphere? It’s thick with that 2000s indie horror aesthetic, which some might find nostalgic. Practical effects are surprisingly solid, giving it a gritty, raw feel that’s often lost in digital. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's a certain charm to the cast's earnestness. Overall, it's one of those flicks that doesn’t shy away from weirdness, making it stand out in a sea of more polished entries.

Not your typical horror fare; definitely has its quirks. · The practical effects elevate some of the creepier moments. · A curious snapshot of early 2000s indie horror cinema.
