So, 'Amy Strangled a Small Child' is one of those bizarre entries in the horror genre from the late '90s that leaves you scratching your head. The film, while unknown in many circles, really dives into the psyche of its lead, Amanda B. James as Amy, who’s this deeply troubled character with some seriously unappealing habits. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, almost unsettling, which adds to the film's eerie ambiance. The dynamic between Amy and her friend Joe Christ, who’s filming her for a project, creates this odd tension. The practical effects are low-key but effective, and there's this rawness to the performances that feels unfiltered, almost like you’re watching something you’re not supposed to. It’s definitely distinctive in its exploration of mental health and social isolation.
