Necromantic

About This Movie

So, 'Necromantic' from 2020 is this intriguing little horror piece that really plays with the whole teenage witch trope, but with a distinctly darker twist. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can feel this underlying creepiness that keeps you on edge. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the sense of disorientation as our young protagonist gets in over her head. The practical effects are where it shines; they lean into that gritty, raw aesthetic that can be pretty jarring in a good way. It explores themes of obsession and the lengths one might go for love, albeit in a very unconventional manner. The performances, especially from the lead, bring a sort of earnestness that juxtaposes the horror nicely. It’s definitely a unique entry in the genre, for sure.
