Mulm

About This Movie

Mulm is an unsettling exploration of despair and family bonds wrapped in a psychological horror narrative. The film unfolds slowly, almost methodically, creating this unbearable tension as Jacob navigates the murky waters of mental illness. The atmosphere is thick with dread; it's that suburban hell where everything seems normal on the surface but is steeped in rot underneath. The practical effects are hauntingly effective, enhancing the psychological horror without relying too heavily on CGI, which I appreciate. Performances are raw, especially the lead - you feel Jacob’s struggle as he grapples with his own beliefs versus the reality he’s faced with. It’s a disturbing reflection on love, sacrifice, and the fragility of sanity, and it lingers long after the credits roll.
