HB (2015) is a curious piece, really. It features a young girl who connects with another girl via a rather unusual phone app, meant only for people who actually know each other—yet they’re strangers. There’s this unsettling atmosphere throughout, which is enhanced by the film's pacing; it keeps you engaged but also a bit on edge. Themes of connection and the isolation of technology are explored, and while the director remains unknown, the performances of the young actresses bring a certain authenticity to the story. What stands out is how they use practical effects, keeping everything grounded in a relatable world, which adds to the tension and mystery. It’s one of those indie gems that lingers in your mind.
HB has had a limited release, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Its indie roots and unique narrative structure have garnered interest, particularly among those who appreciate offbeat storytelling. While physical formats are rare, the film finds its way into discussions about technology’s impact on human connection, making it a niche but intriguing addition for collectors focused on thematic exploration.
