Reflection

About This Movie

Reflection (2025) dives deep into a man’s psyche post-accident, creating a palpable sense of dread that lingers throughout. The pacing is tight, almost suffocating, as the protagonist grapples with his own distorted perceptions. I found the atmosphere unsettling yet intriguing, the practical effects used to depict his reflections are particularly striking—almost uncanny. It’s not just about the fear of his reflection, but it explores themes of identity and trauma in a way that feels fresh. The performances are solid, with the lead really capturing that spiral into paranoia. There’s a rawness to it that adds a layer of grit, making it stand out in a sea of thrillers. The whole experience is haunting, in a good way.
