The Candle

About This Movie

The Candle is an interesting entry in the indie horror scene from 2017. It kind of revolves around this girl, Ryder, who naively wishes for all her dreams to come true. But there's a twist, right? Those dreams come with a hefty side of nightmares, and the film explores that darkness with a moody atmosphere that sticks with you. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, which adds to the tension. The practical effects, while not always perfect, have a certain raw charm that enhances the unsettling tone. Performances are solid, with Ryder capturing that blend of hope and despair convincingly. It's a film that lingers in your mind, if you’re into that kind of psychological horror vibe.

Focus on themes of desire and consequence.Consider the practical effects as a point of discussion.Pacing might divide opinions, but it builds tension.
