About This Movie

Is This What This Is? (2021) is a haunting exploration of nightmares that blurs the line between reality and the subconscious. The film’s tone is unsettling, filled with an oppressive atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s not just about the plot but rather how it makes you feel—slow pacing builds an almost suffocating tension. The performances are raw, drawing you into the characters’ spirals of despair and confusion. What stands out are the practical effects that enhance the surreal quality of the dream sequences, giving a visceral authenticity to the horrors depicted. This film leaves you questioning your own perceptions, a thought-provoking entry in the drama genre.
