Halley

About This Movie

Halley is one of those films that really leans into the surreal aspects of death and decay. The pacing is quite meditative, almost haunting, as we follow Alberto who’s grappling with his own decomposition—literally. The practical effects here are striking; they don’t shy away from the grotesque, which adds a raw, unsettling truth to the story. The gym setting gives off this eerie, lonely vibe, and the bond he forms with Luly feels oddly tender amidst all the decay. It’s a unique blend of drama and horror, where the horror is not just external but a very internal struggle. It’s not your typical horror fare, and that’s what makes it stand out.
