Highlife (2022) dives into a uniquely eerie atmosphere, blending existential dread with a haunting sense of isolation. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to soak in the unsettling visuals and the stark emptiness of space, contrasting with the intense human emotions on display. There's a rawness to the performances that feels almost primal, highlighting themes of survival, solitude, and the human condition. The practical effects used throughout the film lend a tactile quality that enhances its otherworldly setting. It's the kind of film that lingers in your mind long after the end credits roll, inviting reflection on life, choices, and the vast unknown of the universe.
