Shockwave

About This Movie

So, 'Shockwave' is this indie horror flick that leans heavily into the psychological chaos of its central character, Wes. You really feel the tension from the get-go, and it's almost claustrophobic in its execution. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing keeps you on edge, which is pretty impressive for a lesser-known title. I mean, the practical effects—while not always polished—bring a certain rawness that fits the film's vibe perfectly. Wes's transformation from a typical summer kid to someone entangled in something far darker is haunting. The performances, though not from any big names, really pull you in, making you feel every twist and turn of the plot. It’s got this unsettling charm, for sure.
