The Lonely 19:00

About This Movie

The Lonely 19:00 explores a haunting reality where the already isolating effects of COVID-19 are amplified by a newer threat. Set in Japan, the film captures the eeriness of a world where a distance of 50 meters becomes the norm. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as it delves into themes of loneliness and societal decay, painting a grim picture of human connection. The pacing can feel deliberate, enhancing the sense of isolation. Practical effects add a layer of authenticity, grounding this dystopian vision in our current experiences. The performances, though subtle, convey a deep emotional resonance, particularly with Otomi, whose story is intricately woven into the fabric of this oppressive landscape. It's a reflective piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
