Distortion

About This Movie

So, 'Distortion' is interesting in how it plays with the psychological layers of its characters. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which really enhances the sense of dread. You’ve got Tien, Kuen, Key, and Kwang, each grappling with their pasts, and that intertwines beautifully into the murder mystery. The performances have this raw edge—especially Kwang, whose survivor story adds a haunting depth to the narrative. Not a lot of flashy effects, but the practical elements carry a gritty realism that fits the tone. It’s got this unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll, and the role reversals keep you guessing. Definitely a different take on the genre for its time.
