Orval

About This Movie

Orval, a 2025 horror flick, captures a bizarre tension that brews over breakfast between two friends. It’s all so mundane at first, but the atmosphere shifts subtly, creeping in like fog. The pacing is deliberate, almost agonizingly slow, which heightens the tension. There's an underlying theme of paranoia that really gets under your skin. The practical effects, though limited, pack a punch when they appear, striking a contrast with the otherwise ordinary setting. Performances are solid, with a palpable sense of unease brewing just beneath the surface. It’s this contrast of the everyday and the sinister that makes Orval feel distinctive in a sea of horror films.
