As the Walls Closed In is an intriguing blend of psychological tension and surreal horror. The film leans heavily into its atmosphere, crafting a claustrophobic space that mirrors Maria's deteriorating mental state. The practical effects are quite effective, often blurring the lines between reality and nightmare in unsettling ways. Performances by the leads are raw and compelling, particularly in how they portray the emotional weight of their shared experiences. The pacing is deliberate, building suspense as the walls—both literal and metaphorical—close in around them. It’s a unique take on the thriller genre, exploring themes of fear, creativity, and the impact of trauma through a painter's lens, making it stand out in a crowded field.
