Smahorror, directed by Masaki Nishiyama, is an intriguing piece that plays with the modern horror trope of internet-induced dread. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating, especially as Reina delves deeper into the haunting echoes of a live-streamed tragedy that feels all too real. The pacing shifts from a slow, creeping tension to moments of stark horror that catch you off-guard. The practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, which adds to that raw, unsettling feel. The performances, particularly by the lead, bring a grounded realism that makes the supernatural elements hit harder. It stands out for its commentary on the impact of social media on youth and mental health, making it a thoughtful yet chilling watch.
