The Hypnosis

About This Movie

The Hypnosis (2021) is an intriguing blend of horror and thriller that plays with the mind's fragility. You have this haunting atmosphere that lingers, thanks to some clever practical effects that emphasize the psychological dread. Jin-ho's backstory—losing his parents in a tragic accident—sets a heavy tone, and the pacing is a slow burn, drawing you into the depths of trauma and the unknown. Then you have Do-hyun, a college student who becomes fascinated by this hypnosis, adding layers to the narrative. The performances do a solid job capturing the tension and unease that permeates their interactions. It explores themes of memory, loss, and the fine line between healing and delving into madness, which makes it quite a distinctive watch.
