Surrounded

About This Movie

Surrounded is a little gem that immerses you in a teacher's psyche as the unsettling atmosphere tightens around her. Set in an isolated countryside house, the film plays with the idea of solitude and fear. The pacing is deliberate, building unease through the protagonist's increasingly fragile state of mind. The tension is palpable as she starts sensing unseen presences, a clever use of practical effects elevates those moments without relying on over-the-top gimmicks. The performances are raw, capturing the emotional turmoil of a pregnant woman grappling with loneliness and paranoia. It’s distinct in its simplicity and the way it explores themes of isolation and mental strain. Definitely an intriguing watch for those who appreciate subtle horror.
