Vermin (2023) explores the absurdity of mortality with a dark comedic flair. The mother, grasping at life with desperate humor, contrasts sharply against her self-absorbed children who are fixated on inheritance. It’s this push and pull that creates a unique tension throughout the film, blending laughter with a biting critique of familial bonds and greed. The pacing feels deliberate, lingering on awkward moments that amplify the comedic elements, while the practical effects used in certain scenes add a tangible feel to the chaos. Performances are raw and unrefined, enhancing the overall ambiance of desperation and hilarity. There’s something refreshingly off-kilter about it, making it stand out amidst the usual offerings of the genre.
