So, Press Play – it’s an interesting piece from 2016 that kind of slips under the radar in the horror-thriller genre. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing really keeps you on edge. It starts off with this boy uncovering old tapes from a mysterious box, which sets the tone for a descent into something pretty dark. The practical effects, though not over the top, really add to the unsettling vibe of the film. The performances are solid, especially the lead – you can feel his growing anxiety as the secrets unfold. What's distinctive here is how it plays with nostalgia and the notion of memories being both precious and dangerous. It has a certain haunting quality that's worth a look.
