The Shape

About This Movie

So, 'The Shape' from '99 is an interesting piece, right? It’s shot in La Plata and really plays with this disjointed storytelling by showing a murder from three angles. The atmosphere feels thick, almost suffocating at times, which adds to the horror. I mean, you can sense the tension building with each perspective shift. The practical effects are pretty raw, not overly polished, which adds to its gritty charm. Performances can feel a bit uneven, but I think it works for the tone they’re going for. It’s like a puzzle that you have to piece together, and that’s what makes it stand out in a crowded genre. Not your typical slasher, for sure.
