FERNANDO

About This Movie

So, 'Fernando' is this odd little horror piece from 2022 that really leans into its protagonist's psyche. It’s not your standard slasher fare; it’s more of a cerebral dive into the mind of a serial killer, which makes it kind of unsettling. The atmosphere is thick, almost claustrophobic at times, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost voyeuristic. That voiceover from Fernando, as he shares his mundane daily struggles juxtaposed with his dark tendencies, it adds this layer of complexity that gets under your skin. The practical effects are minimal but effective, leaving a lot to the imagination. Performances are solid, capturing that eerie balance between charm and menace. Definitely a distinct take on the genre, if you’re into that psychological horror vibe.
