Cope

About This Movie

Cope (2007) is an intriguing addition to the horror genre, diving into the dark depths of a family's fractured dynamics. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you really feel the weight of their life-altering decision. It has this surreal quality that pulls you in, almost like a descent into madness. The pacing can be jarring, but that’s part of its charm. The practical effects, while not always polished, lend it a rawness that fits the unsettling narrative. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s something compelling about the way they portray despair and desperation. It’s distinct, for sure, especially in how it plays with familial themes in such a twisted setting.
