Crux

About This Movie

Crux is a fascinating blend of fantasy and horror that dives deep into the psyche of ambition and its repercussions. Luna, the main character, is caught in this surreal world that mirrors her internal struggles, with some really striking practical effects that add a raw edge to the film. The pacing has a dreamlike quality, weaving between moments of tension and introspection. The atmosphere is dense, almost claustrophobic at times, which really complements the themes of personal sacrifice and the darker sides of pursuing one's dreams. Performances are solid, with a haunting depth that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s distinctive for how it marries theatrical elements with a creeping horror, almost forcing one to question the cost of ambition itself.
