About This Movie

The story centers on Maya Lubinsky, a female horror director, and her screenwriter partner, Anna De Filippi. Their project becomes a battleground of conflicting desires and eerie encounters with its raw material, which is quite an interesting concept. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build in a way that feels almost claustrophobic at times.

The performances, especially from the leads, delve deep into the psychological turmoil that their characters face. It’s a unique take on the creative process, blurring the lines between art and reality, which makes it stand out.
