Self Reliance is a curious blend of dark comedy and thriller, masterfully helmed by Jake Johnson. The film creates this tense atmosphere as it follows the protagonist caught in this bizarre game where he's hunted. There's an interesting play on trust and isolation, as he grapples with convincing his friends and family of the danger lurking around him. The pacing keeps you on edge, swinging between moments of levity and sheer panic, especially as he finds his unlikely allies. Practical effects add a gritty touch to the chaos, enhancing the absurdity of his plight. Performances are solid, with an engaging mix of humor and tension that questions the nature of companionship in dire situations. Quite distinctive, to say the least.
