Copycat

About This Movie

Copycat (2019) dives deep into the unsettling realm of identity and madness. The young protagonist – he’s nearly in a catatonic state, which really creates this heavy, oppressive atmosphere throughout the film. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into his spiraling descent as he grapples with the horrifying idea of a doppelgänger. There's a rawness to the practical effects that really heightens the tension, making each confrontation feel visceral. Performances are haunting; the lead captures that fragile balance of terror and confusion. This film resonates with themes of duality and the fragility of self, making it a distinctive piece in the horror-sci-fi-thriller blend. It keeps you questioning what’s real and what’s imagined, and that's something I genuinely appreciate in a film.
