Simon Says

About This Movie

So, 'Simon Says' is this interesting blend of drama and thriller that plays with tension in a pretty unique way. The pacing feels deliberate at times, almost dragging you into the characters' emotional states. The atmosphere? Thick and claustrophobic, really enhances the sense of dread. You can’t help but notice the practical effects; they're raw and add a gritty authenticity. The performances, while not well-known, have this earnest quality that makes the characters feel real, almost too relatable. It’s not your run-of-the-mill thriller; it leans into psychological depths rather than just surface-level scares. Definitely has its own vibe, and you can see why it’s a bit of a hidden gem for those who dig deeper.
