Held

About This Movie

Held (2020) taps into psychological horror with a tight, claustrophobic feel. It’s not just about the situation but the unraveling of the couple’s strained relationship under pressure. The unseen antagonist, just a voice, creates an eerie atmosphere that keeps the tension high. The pacing feels deliberate, which might not suit everyone, as it relies heavily on dialogue and the couple’s performances. They do well, capturing the cracks in their marriage. There's something raw about how they react to fear and trust issues. The minimalism of the setting adds to the dread; you really feel isolated with them. Not a ton of flashy effects, but the tension is palpable, which is its strong suit.
