Polaroid (2023) dives into a somewhat familiar premise but delivers a unique twist on the haunted object trope. The atmosphere is thick with tension, thanks to some effective practical effects that add a gritty realism to the horror. Pacing has its ebbs and flows, which might not sit well with everyone, but it really allows the dread to build. The young man's descent into paranoia is compellingly portrayed, and the camera itself feels like a character, haunting him with each snapshot. Themes of obsession and the unseen consequences of our actions resonate throughout, making it a thought-provoking watch amidst the jump scares.
