About This Movie

CHASE (2025) is a tight little piece that boils down to pure survival horror. The atmosphere is thick with dread, as we follow a young woman navigating through the oppressive woods, with a stranger lurking behind her. Nick Dauphin's direction crafts a palpable tension, you can almost feel the leaves crunch underfoot. The pacing is relentless, with each moment stretching out, really capitalizing on that primal fear of being hunted. The practical effects here are commendable, adding a rawness that CGI just can't replicate. Performances are grounded, especially the lead; she carries the film with a mix of vulnerability and fierce determination. It’s not just about the chase, but the psychological unraveling that comes with it, making it feel more than just a simple stalk-and-run film.
