Starfish

About This Movie

Starfish is this intriguing blend of drama, horror, and sci-fi that really captures that sense of isolation and impending dread. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing the weight of the world’s end to settle. Aubrey, played with a raw vulnerability, really anchors the film—her journey feels both personal and universal. The mysterious cassette tape pulls you into this surreal atmosphere, with its lo-fi aesthetic and haunting sound design. Practical effects here are used sparingly but effectively, creating a tangible sense of unease. The film's themes of grief, memory, and the passage of time resonate deeply, making it a thought-provoking watch. It stands out with its unique storytelling approach, which leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
