So, 'Ellos' is this 2020 horror gem that really dives into a nightmarish state of mind. Edgar's abrupt awakening sets a tense tone right from the get-go, and the atmosphere is just thick with dread. The pacing is interesting; it builds slowly but feels pretty claustrophobic as Edgar discovers he’s frozen in place. There's this palpable sense of claustrophobia that works well with the minimalist setting. The practical effects are surprisingly effective given the film's budget—it's gritty but in a way that enhances the horror. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and really help in selling the fear of the unknown. It feels distinct, really playing with isolation and the terror of what lurks just out of sight.
