Helena (2023) immerses you in a disquieting blend of fantasy and horror, crafted with an unsettling atmosphere that lingers. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the eerie tension to build as Helena grapples with her inexplicable illness. Flashbacks weave into the narrative, revealing fragmented dreams that hint at something much darker. Performances are raw, especially the dynamic between Helena and her friend Laura, which adds depth to the unfolding mystery. What stands out here are the practical effects—rather refreshing in a genre saturated with CGI. The film's exploration of illness as a metaphor for something otherworldly gives it a unique twist, making it a curious piece for genre enthusiasts. Expect a haunting experience that stays with you long after the credits roll.
