AMŒBA

About This Movie

AMŒBA is one of those films that captures a unique blend of psychological horror and queer identity, making it stand out in the genre. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which really enhances the disorientation Levi experiences—perfect for a story that toys with reality. The practical effects, especially those depicting the brain-eating parasite, are quite striking without veering into over-the-top territory. I found the atmosphere to be thick with tension, and the performances, particularly from the leads, have a rawness that adds to the film’s unsettling vibe. It’s fascinating how it explores themes of perception, desire, and trauma, all while keeping you guessing about what’s real and what’s not. Definitely worth a look for those interested in horror that digs deeper than just scares.

Intriguing blend of horror and queer identity.Noteworthy practical effects are a highlight.Pacing may be uneven but enhances the narrative tension.
