Open Wide

About This Movie

Open Wide is a peculiar entry in the horror genre, blending psychological tension with a darkly comedic twist. The film follows Phoebe, whose struggle with faith leads her into a seductive trap laid by a seemingly perfect couple. It's interesting how it plays with themes of desire and the dangers of curiosity, almost like a modern twist on classic folk horror. The pacing is deliberate, building an atmosphere that’s both enticing and uneasy. The practical effects, especially in the more intense scenes, really elevate the unsettling moments. Performances are solid, particularly from Phoebe's character, who embodies that internal conflict beautifully. It’s distinct in how it explores the intersection of sexuality and faith, something that’s not often tackled in horror.
