Sol

About This Movie

So, 'Sol' is this eerie little gem from 2017 that really leans into its horror roots with an unsettling atmosphere. The pacing is slow at times, but that actually builds tension effectively, letting you sit with the characters' dread. The practical effects are noteworthy, especially during the exorcism scenes - they have this rawness that CGI just can't replicate. The performances feel grounded, particularly the old woman, who conveys a deep sense of desperation and fear. The film kind of plays with themes of isolation and the lengths one will go to protect loved ones, which adds a layer of depth. It’s not your typical horror fare, but that’s what makes it distinctive and intriguing to explore further.
