Paranormal

About This Movie

Paranormal (2018) has this odd, unsettling vibe that lingers. The set design of the spooky house adds a layer of dread, almost like a character itself. The pacing takes its time, building tension as Paddy navigates the chaos of his choices. The performances, particularly Paddy's, feel raw and unguarded, which lends itself well to the horror theme. It's not your typical jump-scare film; it plays more with psychological elements and the boundaries of trust. The practical effects, though not overdone, are effective enough to contribute to that eerie atmosphere, making it a distinctive entry in the indie horror scene. It’s a curious watch for those who appreciate a blend of tension and dark humor.

Paranormal has had limited release, making it somewhat of a hidden gem among horror aficionados. Its distribution was primarily through indie channels, which contributes to its scarcity. While not widely known, those who collect indie horror appreciate its unique tone and practical effects. As it skews away from mainstream tropes, it garners interest from collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
