Help Me

About This Movie

Help Me (2017) creates an unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It's this weird blend of claustrophobia and disorientation that gets under your skin. The pacing is interesting, starting off slow as our protagonist buries herself in books—then it just snaps. Once she drifts off, the film dives into a surreal realm where time is fluid, and the horror feels both immediate and hauntingly distant. Practical effects play a crucial role here, enhancing the eerie presence she senses in the empty halls. While the director remains unknown, the performances, especially from the lead, draw you in, capturing that frantic mix of stress and vulnerability that comes with academic pressure. There's something both relatable and unnerving in how her fear manifests.
