So, 'Amateur's Guide' from 2018 is this low-budget horror flick that really leans into the whole nervous, atmospheric vibe. The pacing has this almost claustrophobic feel, and you can sense the tension building as the protagonist tries to summon something. It gives off a DIY aesthetic, which is both endearing and adds to the eerie atmosphere. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, and they definitely contribute to some unsettling moments. The performances, particularly from the lead, feel raw and unrefined, which strangely suits the film's overall tone. It's not about the spectacle, rather it dives deep into the psychological aspect of fear and the unknown - definitely a unique entry in the indie horror scene.
