Lucid

About This Movie

So, 'Lucid' is this short horror film that really dives into the unsettling. It’s made for the 48 Hour Film Horror Project, which is always a fun challenge for filmmakers. The pacing is tight, which adds to the tension as you follow this couple—there's an air of dread that builds steadily. The atmosphere in the park feels almost claustrophobic once the odd woman enters the scene; it’s like the familiar turns sinister. Practical effects are minimal but effective, letting the viewer's imagination fill in the gaps. The performances are pretty raw, which adds to that feeling of realism. It's a nice little entry in the festival circuit, capturing that essence of dread in a brief runtime. Definitely one to keep an eye on for its unique approach.
