Drosera

About This Movie

So, 'Drosera' is an interesting blend of drama and horror that dives into some dark themes. You have this fifteen-year-old motocross champion, Alice, who undergoes a traumatic experience that leads her to discover some pretty intense superpowers. What’s distinctive here is how the film balances the gritty reality of her trauma with this almost surreal empowerment arc. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it seems intentional, reflecting Alice’s inner turmoil. The practical effects used to depict her powers have a raw, visceral quality that really stands out. Performances are solid, especially the lead, who captures a range of emotions beautifully. It’s not your typical superhero tale, and that’s what makes it compelling.
