Closer

About This Movie

So, 'Closer' (2013) by Angelo Licata is a bit of a strange one. It mixes this laid-back camping vibe with an undercurrent of impending doom, which is pretty unsettling. The film really explores how people connect—or fail to connect—when faced with external chaos. Luke and Sarah are just trying to enjoy their weekend, but there's something lurking in the background, and it creeps in slowly. The pacing is uneven but in a way that builds tension rather than breaking immersion. The practical effects aren’t overdone but add a layer of realism that enhances the overall atmosphere. Performances are solid, capturing that mix of innocence and dread. It’s a unique take on the sci-fi genre that sticks with you in a quiet way.
