Instinct

About This Movie

Instinct is a curious blend of horror and psychological thriller, weaving an unsettling narrative around Isabelle, a reclusive gallery owner. The film crafts an atmosphere thick with tension and desire, as she becomes increasingly enmeshed with Camila, a performance artist whose charm is as dangerous as it is intoxicating. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for an exploration of themes like loneliness, obsession, and the darker aspects of human nature. There's something raw about the performances, especially in how they navigate the thin line between attraction and fear. Practical effects add a visceral quality, grounding the more surreal moments. It’s not just about the scares; it’s about what happens when boundaries blur and the self is tested.
