Climbing

About This Movie

Climbing (2021) blends animation with horror and thriller elements in a way that feels both eerie and immersive. The story follows Se-hyun, who, after a car accident, faces not just physical challenges but psychological ones as nightmares plague her. The pacing is deliberate, heightening the tension as we see her readiness for the World Climbing Competition juxtaposed against her internal struggles. The animation style is distinct, offering a surreal quality that complements the horror themes. It's this odd blend of the beautiful and the grotesque that makes the film stand out. The atmosphere is heavy with dread, and the performances, though animated, resonate with real emotional weight. Definitely an interesting piece to discuss in a collection.
