Hi John

About This Movie

Hi John (2023) is a real pulse-pounding journey through the mundane turned surreal. You follow John, this everyday guy, as he rides the train back home, but it’s anything but ordinary. The chaos of his life seeps in through those voicemails he's checking—these snippets of urgency really set the tone. The pacing is tight, really quick cuts that mirror his frantic mind. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, almost claustrophobic at times. Practical effects, minimal yet effective, add to the visceral feel of his reality unraveling. Performances feel grounded but layered, you can sense the weight of his decisions. It’s intriguing how it plays with the theme of avoidance, making you wonder what’s lurking underneath.
