About This Movie

Noman (2022) dives headfirst into the murky waters of social media obsession and the occult. Set against a backdrop of eerie night-time visuals, we follow Amber, a determined influencer, and her skeptical boyfriend, Johnny, as they conduct a summoning ritual for an online audience. The pacing feels intentionally slow, building tension as Amber's enthusiasm clashes with Johnny's doubts. The practical effects are a standout, enhancing the horror elements without over-relying on CGI. Themes of desperation for fame and the dangers of online personas are woven throughout, making it a pointed commentary on our current culture. The performances are raw and largely believable, capturing the essence of their characters, even if the direction feels a bit nebulous.
