Earworm

About This Movie

Earworm dives into the unsettling psyche of Henry Adams, blending psychological horror with a raw exploration of social anxiety. It's got this eerie tone, where the self-help group turns out to be a trap, layered with an atmosphere that feels thick enough to cut with a knife. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you in while keeping that constant sense of dread alive. The practical effects add a gritty realism that enhances the film's disturbing themes, making you question what's real and what’s not. Performances are gritty too, especially the lead, really embodying that social awkwardness. It’s distinctive in how it tackles mental health while embedding horror in the mundane, and I think that’s something that lingers long after the credits roll.
