Overtime

About This Movie

Overtime (2024) is a curious blend of comedy and horror that dives into some poignant themes like identity and survival. The film follows Noah, a transgender teen runaway, who's trying to scrape together some cash by landing a job with Lou, this classic blue-collar type with a hard shell. The contrast between Noah's youthful energy and Lou's grumpy demeanor sets up a pretty interesting dynamic. There's a nice, gritty atmosphere, and the pacing feels almost like a heartbeat – quick when it needs to be, but also lingers in some darker moments. The practical effects used for the monsters are a real treat, adding a raw quality that CGI often lacks. Overall, it’s a distinctive take on the monster-hunting genre with a fresh perspective.
