Flicker

About This Movie

Flicker presents this eerie portrait of a young girl's life trapped within the confines of her puritan upbringing. The tension builds slowly, with a palpable sense of dread permeating each scene, creating an almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The film's practical effects are surprisingly effective, adding to the disquieting narrative. You can really feel the weight of their isolation and the fear of the unknown, but it’s the psychological horror lurking beneath that makes it distinctive. As the story unfolds, the performances draw you in, and you can't help but feel the girl's growing terror—it's almost suffocating at times.

Flicker has remained somewhat of an enigma in collector circles, with little information about its director and background. There are scarce home video releases, making it a coveted find for those that appreciate obscure horror. Interest appears to be growing as collectors seek out its unique blend of psychological and supernatural themes, alongside its striking practical effects.
