Cuties

About This Movie

Cuties is an intriguing blend of horror and coming-of-age themes, exploring insecurity and identity through a killer's twisted lens. The atmosphere is thick with tension from the very start, as a group of gay teens navigates the chaotic last stretch of high school. What stands out here is that while the killer hunts them down, Micah, the protagonist, grapples with his own feelings of inadequacy, almost feeling like an outsider in his own narrative. The pacing keeps you on edge, building suspense cleverly alongside character development. The performances, especially from Micah, are raw and heartfelt, really grounding the horror in something relatable. The practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the eerie mood without overshadowing the emotional stakes at play.
