Habit

About This Movie

Habit (1997) is one of those films that feels like a fever dream, set against the backdrop of a gritty, autumnal New York. Sam’s descent into a world of addiction and madness is haunting, played out with a kind of raw honesty that’s hard to shake off. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the atmosphere to sink in deeply, and Anna, the vampire, is more than just a supernatural figure; she embodies the chaos and allure of self-destruction. Practical effects are minimal, which makes the psychological horror more impactful. The performances, especially from the lead, draw you into a world that's both seductive and repulsive. It’s really about that blurred line between love and obsession, and it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
