Ash Wednesday

About This Movie

So, 'Ash Wednesday' is this intriguing blend of comedy and horror, directed by Cassie Barraclough. The film dives into the chaotic aftermath of a breakup, centering on Mike, who thinks he’s just getting some casual fun on Grindr with Jesse. But it spirals into something much weirder. The pacing has this offbeat rhythm, mixing light-hearted moments with genuine tension. The practical effects really stand out; they add a rawness to the horror elements that feel refreshing. Performances are a bit quirky, which I think really suits the story's tone. You get this sense of unease wrapped in humor, kind of a surreal exploration of modern dating that’s both relatable and bizarre. Definitely feels different from your usual fare.
