About This Movie

Libra (2022) offers a raw dive into horror, merging mundane reality with an unsettling, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as we follow a man and a woman grappling with their own fears, accompanied by an ever-present swarm of maggots that adds to the film's discomfort. Practical effects take center stage here, creating a visceral experience that feels grounded, not overly polished. The performances are intriguing, capturing the characters' descent into paranoia and dread with a focus on the psychological over the overtly gruesome. It’s distinctive in how it plays with themes of decay and helplessness, making you question how far one can go in confronting their nightmares.
