About This Movie

So, 'Reel' is quite the wild ride if you can handle it. The film dives deep into the psyche of obsession, centering on Todd Smith, a real-life horror critic who becomes the target of a truly unhinged stalker. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can feel the dread building throughout. Pacing feels intentional, almost like a slow burn that erupts into chaos. The practical effects are noteworthy—well done for a smaller budget, really adds to the gruesome vibe. Performances are raw; you can sense the desperation and madness. What stands out, really, is how it plays with the lines between fiction and reality, making you question what’s lurking behind the camera and in the minds of its characters.

Unique exploration of horror fandom · Strong practical effects for its budget · Chilling atmosphere throughout the film
