Lips

About This Movie

Lips is an intriguing blend of comedy and horror that unfolds like a modern anthology tale. Directed by Hayden Hewitt, it dives into the life of Michael, whose act of lending an ear spirals into bizarre consequences. The film has this off-kilter British vibe that keeps you on your toes, oscillating between humor and tension. What I found quite striking were the practical effects—there's a tangible quality to the visuals that adds to the unsettling atmosphere. Pacing is well-measured, allowing the absurdity to simmer before it boils over. The performances have this raw edge, adding to the film’s unpredictable nature. It’s distinctive for how it explores the repercussions of empathy in a way that’s both quirky and dark.
