Gummies

About This Movie

Gummies, directed by an unknown talent, dives into a distinct horror ambiance that feels both intimate and unsettling. It follows a tomboy who takes on the challenge of reshaping her typically feminine surroundings to push back against her mother’s harsh expectations. The film's pacing is deliberately slow at times, letting the tension build as the protagonist transforms her space in a way that feels both rebellious and eerie. The practical effects used to manifest her inner turmoil are quite striking, providing a raw, tactile feeling that CGI often lacks. Performances are solid, especially in capturing familial tension. The whole vibe carries a sense of creeping dread that lingers long after the credits roll, making you think about those childhood conflicts in a fresh, dark light.
