Alienation

About This Movie

Alienation (2015) is this haunting exploration of obsession, where a young man's life spirals as his infatuation with aliens takes over. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as you can really feel the isolation creeping in. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, which adds to that unsettling tone. You get some interesting practical effects that, while not groundbreaking, serve the narrative well. The performances are a touch raw, but they capture the existential dread nicely. It’s distinct in how it tackles the theme of losing yourself to the unknown.

Alienation has had limited availability, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. Its independent roots mean that physical releases are sparse, and it hasn't received widespread attention, which might intrigue those who appreciate hidden gems. There’s a growing interest among niche collectors who are drawn to its unique take on alien themes and psychological depth. If you come across a copy, it might be worth picking up for its distinct approach to storytelling and atmosphere.
