Sawman

About This Movie

Sawman is an interesting little piece from 2018 that definitely leans into that claustrophobic, dread-filled vibe. The atmosphere is thick, almost palpable, and really draws you into this world of horror. The pacing is tight; it doesn't waste time getting into the meat of the story. There's a certain rawness to the practical effects that feels refreshing—no over-the-top CGI here. The performances, while not groundbreaking, have an earnestness that adds to the unsettling nature of the film. It’s that kind of short that lingers with you, forcing you to sit with its themes of fear and survival long after the credits roll. Not groundbreaking, but it has a distinctive edge that can be appreciated for what it is.
