So, 'Insight' is one of those intriguing little films that blends drama with a sci-fi twist. You’ve got this 17-year-old, Eli, who’s learning from Mr. Walker, an ex-soldier with a pretty heavy past tied to a botched government project on hypnosis. The pacing is a bit uneven; it takes its time to build tension, but when it hits, it hits hard. The atmosphere is quite moody, with a subtle sense of dread lurking beneath the surface. The practical effects are modest but effective, enhancing the psychological elements rather than overwhelming them. Performances are solid, with a palpable tension between the characters, especially as Eli starts to uncover the darker layers of what he's being taught. It has a unique vibe; definitely worth a look for those who appreciate experimental narratives.
