About This Movie

So, 'The Mantis' is an interesting piece, really. It dives into some deep themes around desire and the darker sides of obsession, which gives it a nice unsettling atmosphere. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which kind of works to build tension, keeping you on edge. The practical effects are where it shines though; they really managed to create some visceral moments that stick with you. The performances are quite raw, almost unrefined, adding to the overall sense of unease. It's got this edgy vibe that feels fresh, like they’re playing with expectations. Not your typical horror fare, but definitely has its own identity. Perfect for collectors who appreciate something a bit off the beaten path.
