EXOCONTROLE, 2020

About This Movie

Exocontrole, from 2020, has this intriguing vibe that pulls you in with its unique approach to sci-fi. The atmosphere feels almost claustrophobic at times, with a pacing that oscillates between tense build-up and sudden, jarring revelations. You can sense a strong undercurrent of existential themes, exploring humanity's relationship with technology, though it's not overly preachy about it. The practical effects have a certain rawness that gives it a tactile feel, making the world a bit more immersive, almost gritty. Performances are solid, though they may not break new ground, there's an authenticity in the portrayal of characters caught in this bizarre situation, which adds to the overall tone. It’s definitely distinctive in its own right, even if it doesn't have the polish of bigger productions.
