Overdose

About This Movie

Overdose (2018) has this gritty, tense vibe that really pulls you in. The film unfolds during a chaotic drug raid, but it twists expectations when the focus shifts to what the users are actually high on—there's a deeper layer here that touches on desperation and escapism. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, creating an atmosphere thick with dread and uncertainty. I found the performances to be raw and believable, particularly in how they handle the emotional weight of their characters’ struggles. There’s a noticeable lack of flashy CGI, which I think adds to its charm, relying instead on practical effects that ground the chaos in reality. It’s not your typical thriller, which makes it stand out in a crowded genre.
