Parable

About This Movie

Parable is an unsettling dive into the dark waters of conversion therapy, draped in horror. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing is deliberate, allowing the dread to build until it practically suffocates you. The performances, especially that of the teen lead, are raw and haunting, making you feel every moment of their struggle. The self-styled holy man is particularly disturbing, his charisma twisted into something grotesque. The practical effects, though not the main focus, bring the demon's wrath to life in a way that's both eerie and impactful. What stands out is how it tackles heavy themes of faith, identity, and the horrors inflicted in the name of so-called salvation. It’s not easy viewing, but it lingers long after the credits roll.

Interesting exploration of faith and identity.Tackles real-world issues through a horror lens.Atmospheric tension with a slow-building dread.
