So, 'He Was a Friend of Him' is a curious piece from 2015, directed by someone we don't know, which adds a layer of mystery. The tone is dark and unsettling, really capturing the twisted psyche of the lead. The pacing feels off-kilter, almost disorienting at times, which fits the protagonist's mental state. The themes of trust and betrayal are explored with a heavy hand, pushing the boundaries of friendship and manipulation. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the grim atmosphere. The performances, particularly from the leads, bring a rawness that’s striking. It’s not your typical thriller – it lingers in discomfort, which might not be for everyone but definitely leaves an impression.
