Vexed

About This Movie

Vexed (2016) is one of those films that takes a simple premise—a couple on a date night—and twists it into something that pokes fun at horror tropes while also delivering genuine tension. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but it adds to the atmosphere as they dive into the absurdities of horror plots. The performances aren’t anything ground-breaking, but they have a natural chemistry that makes their descent into madness feel relatable and unsettling. Practical effects are used sparingly, yet effectively, which amplifies the eerie vibe. It’s not the typical slasher or ghost story; rather, it’s a meta-commentary that keeps you guessing about what’s real and what’s just part of the game. Definitely an interesting watch for genre aficionados looking for something different.
