It's Happening (2023) offers a grim, contemplative dive into the consequences of creative ambition. The tone is thick with tension, almost suffocating at times, as the main character grapples with the fallout of their past decisions. The pacing feels deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to fully absorb the weight of regret and the complexity of human relationships. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, enhancing the eerie atmosphere without overshadowing the narrative. Performances are raw and emotionally charged, giving depth to characters that could easily fall into stereotypes. What stands out is the film's exploration of accountability in the creative world, and how one's art can come back to haunt them. It's a layered piece that invites reflection.
