Distortion

About This Movie

So, 'Distortion' is this interesting 2017 horror/thriller that really leans into the eerie atmosphere of isolation. Set in a village, we follow seven friends who find themselves drawn to this old, abandoned convent for a night vigil, which is, let’s be honest, pretty much a recipe for disaster. The pacing is kind of uneven but it adds to that unsettling feeling—like you’re not really sure what’s lurking around. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, are effective enough to get under your skin, especially as tension builds among the group. The performances can be hit or miss, but they fit the vibe of a tight-knit friend group facing something way darker than they expected. It has this raw, almost amateurish charm that gives it a unique edge among low-budget horror flicks.
