The Thing Inside Us

About This Movie

So, 'The Thing Inside Us' is this eerie little gem from 2021 that dives into the psychological horror territory with its unsettling tone. Set against the backdrop of a pandemic—yeah, real timely stuff—Daniel and Shelly's dynamic is tense and fraught, especially since Shelly's sleepwalking becomes a focal point. The pacing keeps you on edge; it’s slow-burn but doesn’t drag, building up that sense of dread and isolation. The practical effects hit just right, grounding the sci-fi elements in a way that feels visceral. The performances are solid; you can really feel the weight of their loss. It’s not flashy, but it gets under your skin and lingers in your mind, kind of like the disease it portrays.
