Popsy is an intriguing little horror flick that dives into the murky waters of addiction and desperation. The pacing feels almost languid at times, but it only heightens the tension as the protagonist spirals deeper into his troubles. What really sets this film apart are its practical effects, which lend a gritty realism to the unfolding nightmare. The atmosphere is thick and unsettling, especially in scenes where our lead encounters the eerie young boy searching for his 'Popsy.' Performances are a mixed bag, but they add to the raw, unrefined feel of the movie. It's a strange blend of desperation and surrealism that sticks with you, honestly not what you'd expect from a 2018 release.
