A44

About This Movie

A44 really digs into that unsettling blend of adventure and horror. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost claustrophobic at times, which is a nice contrast to the open settings of the college and surrounding farms. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that almost adds to the overall sense of dread. The themes of consumerism and the dark side of food production are pretty poignant, especially considering today's climate. The practical effects, when the transformations happen, are surprisingly effective, giving it that gritty feel that’s often missing in modern films. The lead performance is compelling, as you really feel their descent into obsession. Not every moment lands perfectly, but it’s got a raw edge that feels distinct in the genre landscape.
