Headsome

About This Movie

Headsome is this eerie mix of science fiction and thriller that just sticks with you. The atmosphere is thick, almost claustrophobic, especially when the long-lost scientist reveals the twisted nature of his research. The whole animal head transplant idea is unsettling, right? And it really plays into the themes of control and identity. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it builds tension in a unique way. Practical effects do a solid job of bringing the more grotesque elements to life; you can tell they didn't rely too heavily on CGI. Performances are solid, though the leads have a strange chemistry that adds to the film's unsettling vibe. It's definitely distinctive in a way that doesn't quite sit right, but that's part of its charm.
