HAZE

About This Movie

HAZE, from 2023, offers this unsettling narrative that dives deep into the dark underbelly of student rituals. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost palpable, as you follow this young student drawn into the strange traditions of the upper class. The pacing is intriguing; it teeters between moments of intense drama and suspense, making every scene feel loaded. What struck me was how well the performances capture that sense of anxiety and desperation. There’s a rawness that's hard to shake off. And practical effects? Nothing flashy, but they add an uncomfortable realism that enhances the overall feel. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from exploring themes of belonging and the pressures of fitting in, which gives it an edge beyond just the surface thrills.
