So, 'Big Polio' is this intriguing mystery that really leans into the psychological aspects of its characters. The pacing has a sort of dreamlike quality, which can be disorienting at times, but in a way that makes you reflect on the story. The man’s journey through his troubled psyche, seeking answers from a priest and then a mysterious guru, creates this atmosphere of existential dread and intrigue. Practical effects here are subtle yet effective, enhancing the disconnection he feels from reality. Performances come across as raw, almost haunting, which adds to the overall tension. It’s not your typical mystery; it’s more of an exploration of self and belief, which gives it a distinctive edge that lingers long after the credits roll.
