Stingray

About This Movie

Stingray dives into the murky waters of a couple's faltering relationship, exploring themes of mortality and emotional detachment. The atmosphere is thick with tension, using practical effects to create a visceral dread as they encounter menacing sea creatures. It’s not just about the threat of the creatures, but what they represent—a mirror to their own fears and insecurities. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with the characters' internal struggles, which makes their confrontations with the deadly wildlife all the more impactful. The performances are haunting in their rawness, capturing that sense of unease that lingers long after the credits roll.

Stingray is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, with limited releases and few formats available. The original VHS captures its gritty essence, but even that can be hard to track down. Interest seems to be growing, particularly among those who appreciate films that delve into psychological horror intertwined with existential themes. It’s definitely not your average creature feature, which makes it stand out and sparks discussions among collectors.
