Looking Glass

About This Movie

Looking Glass (2007) is one of those underrated gems that blends animation with horror in a rather unsettling way. The film captures a heavy atmosphere, with the dark stormy night amplifying the tension. You’ve got this innocent little girl home alone, but there's something off about her surroundings. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing dread to build up slowly. The practical effects used throughout are commendable, adding a tactile quality that enhances the eeriness. It's not just about the scares; it dives into themes of isolation and fear of the unknown. Definitely not for everyone, but there's a certain charm to its disquieting storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll.
