Shepard is an intriguing piece of indie horror that leans heavily into psychological unease. The film explores the mind of its protagonist, a skater named Shepard, as he grapples with the aftermath of a weird injury. The auditory and visual hallucinations he experiences are crafted with a raw, unsettling atmosphere, drawing the viewer into his deteriorating mental state. The pacing is deliberate, letting the tension build slowly, which I find adds to the dread. There’s a notable use of practical effects here, enhancing the realism of Shepard's visions. Performances are solid; the lead really embodies the struggle. It's distinctive for its focus on internal chaos rather than external threats, which gives it a unique flavor in the horror genre.
