Rotten Love

About This Movie

Rotten Love is an interesting mix of drama, horror, and thriller that feels quite raw. Xander Turian's directorial debut has a unique vibe, thanks in part to Sarah Giercksky's influence. The story centers on Leo, a young man whose stressful day leads him into a nightmarish situation at home. The atmosphere is thick and unsettling, with practical effects that really stand out in today’s CGI-laden landscape. Performances are intense but grounded, capturing that everyday despair some might find relatable. It has pacing that builds tension nicely, though it might meander a bit for some tastes. Definitely not your conventional horror flick, but it's got an unsettling charm that's hard to ignore.
