Poetica Mortis

About This Movie

So, 'Poetica Mortis' is an intriguing blend of drama, horror, and mystery. You’re thrown into M's world where he grapples with this curse from a buddy over a simple game of checkers, and honestly, it’s pretty disorienting in a good way. The atmosphere is thick with tension, layered with a kind of existential dread that creeps in as M loses grip on reality. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike at times, which adds to that unsettling vibe. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, do their job well, enhancing that eerie feeling. Performances are solid too, especially in how they convey confusion and paranoia. It’s distinctive in that it blurs lines, making you question what’s real – a bit of a mind-bender, really.
