About This Movie

So, 'Simon' from LSDavid is this intriguing blend of comedy, horror, and sci-fi that really stands out in the indie scene. The premise, revolving around a video game character born from a teenager’s imagination, is both darkly funny and oddly poignant. You feel that sense of existential dread as he grapples with his creator's flaws and the cruel universe he's stuck in. The pacing has this great ebb and flow—moments of levity interrupted by genuine terror. Practical effects add a raw quality that amplifies the horror elements, while the performances bring a quirky charm that keeps you engaged. It's definitely a fresh take on the video game trope, exploring themes of creation and control in a way that feels distinctively layered.
