Ricky Today is a chilling dive into the mind of a notorious killer, Ricky Caldwell. The film unfolds as a pseudo-documentary, pulling you in with an unsettling authenticity that's hard to shake. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build slowly, almost like a creeping dread that hangs in the air. Beahm's direction gives it a raw, gritty feel, which matches the bleak themes of violence and isolation. The performances are haunting, particularly the lead, who nails the unsettling charisma of Caldwell. The practical effects, though not overdone, add to the film's sinister atmosphere without overshadowing the narrative. It's a stark and provocative examination of evil, set against the backdrop of a holiday season that’s anything but cheerful.
