Mental

About This Movie

So, 'Mental' is this intense dive into a young man's psyche, grappling with his mental health on a day that spirals into chaos. The way Pedroza plays with reality and fiction is quite something—there's this persistent tension that keeps you on edge. You really feel the character's internal struggle; it's raw and unsettling. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of dread to build, and the practical effects, though not overdone, hit just the right notes to enhance the horror without overshadowing the narrative. Performances are solid; they really embody the fragility of the mind. It's an exploration of truth versus illusion that’s not easy to shake off after the credits roll.
