Copy Cat

About This Movie

Copy Cat (2020) creates a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that's pretty effective for a lower-budget horror flick. The film follows a group of film students, which adds a layer of meta-commentary on horror tropes. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow complements the feel of being lost in a nightmare. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, especially among the students dealing with their grim reality. The practical effects have a rough charm, not overly polished but they get the job done and contribute to the grittiness. It’s definitely one of those films that leaves you pondering the cost of artistic ambition against the backdrop of survival. Fits nicely in a collection focused on indie horror.
