Necktie

About This Movie

Necktie (2013) leans heavily into that eerie atmosphere inherent in films exploring mortality. The pacing is uneven—sometimes it drags in moments of introspection, only to pick up with sudden jarring revelations. It captures that raw energy of youth, five teens grappling with existential questions and the consequences of their decisions. The performances feel genuine, though not universally strong, which adds to its charm, making it feel like a real study of friendship and fear. What stands out here is the practical effects used in a few key scenes, providing an unsettling realism that elevates the film’s themes. It’s a curious watch, definitely not for everyone, but there's something unique about its approach.

Necktie has seen limited availability, with few releases, which makes it a curious find for collectors. The film initially surfaced in a small independent circuit, and its niche appeal has kept it under the radar, but there’s certainly a dedicated interest among those who appreciate indie explorations of darker themes. While not widely collected, its scarcity and unique premise can spark interest among genre enthusiasts looking for something off the beaten path.
