About This Movie

Altitude (2019) dives into a chilling atmosphere where Sarah and Thomas, lost in a thick mist during their mountain retreat, grapple with unsettling occurrences. The film really plays with the tension of reality versus illusion, and the pacing keeps you on edge, uncertain of what's actually happening. Practical effects are used here and there, adding a tactile quality that enhances the horror. The performances, while not groundbreaking, fit the unsettling mood beautifully, with a mounting sense of dread that creeps up on you. It leans heavily into themes of isolation and psychological strain, making it distinctive in how it presents its horror without relying too heavily on jump scares.
