First Kill (2020) is a short horror that dives into the psyche of a serial killer at the moment of his first murder. The tone is dark and unsettling, really pulling you into a twisted mindset. The pacing is tight, but there's an eerie build-up that keeps you on edge. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the practical effects, while limited, have a raw authenticity that adds to the film's unsettling nature. Performances are solid, especially given the short runtime. It's interesting how it explores themes of morality and the burden of choice, all wrapped up in a concise package. There's something distinct about how it feels less like a horror and more like a psychological study, which is refreshing in this genre.
