Berman

About This Movie

Berman is an intriguing addition to the horror genre that really leans into atmosphere and tension. The film’s pacing is methodical, allowing dread to seep in gradually, which I found quite effective. The practical effects stand out, too—there's a rawness to them that enhances the unsettling experience, especially in key scenes where the horror is revealed. The performances are solid; they bring a certain authenticity that grounds the supernatural elements. There’s a persistent sense of paranoia that runs throughout, and the question of Berman's terrible secret lingers long after it ends. It's not your typical horror flick; it dwells more on the psychological than just jump scares, which I appreciate.
