Insomnia (2018) dives deep into the psyche of a young woman tormented by her past, manifesting in the form of a ghost that disrupts her every attempt at rest. The film’s tone is haunting, capturing that slow creep of dread that lingers just beyond the edges of consciousness. The pacing... well, it’s deliberate, allowing the tension to build, almost like an insomniac's spiral into madness. Practical effects are used sparingly yet effectively, lending a gritty realism to the supernatural elements. Performances feel raw, almost unpolished, which adds to the film's unsettling authenticity. It’s this blend of psychological horror and tangible fear that makes it stand out. The atmosphere leaves you feeling restless, much like the protagonist’s sleepless nights.
