It’s not your standard fare; the pacing is oddly hypnotic, almost as if it’s drawing you into a downward spiral. The performances have this raw, gritty feel that really drives home the desperation of the characters. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, emphasizing the stark reality of addiction’s consequences. The atmosphere lingers long after the credits roll, and there’s this unsettling sense of authenticity that makes it stand apart from other exploitation films of the era.
