Old Born

About This Movie

So, 'Old Born' is this intriguing blend of drama and horror that really plays with the idea of identity and emotion in a very raw way. Dawa, the protagonist, stands out in her society of creatures that lack those human traits, which creates this unsettling atmosphere. The pacing can feel almost languid at times, allowing you to really soak in the surreal landscape and the tension it builds. The practical effects are pretty remarkable too, giving that primitive world a tactile quality that enhances the discomfort. And the performances? They’re layered, especially Dawa's, who carries the weight of her journey and contrasts starkly against the soullessness around her. It’s a unique exploration of existence and the longing for connection.
