Stacey & the Alien has this eerie, unsettling vibe that creeps under your skin. The atmosphere is damp and claustrophobic, with Stacey's world shrinking as she clings to her mother's corpse. The pacing is interesting—like a slow burn, but it keeps you hooked as you watch her sanity unravel. The themes of grief and denial are portrayed in an unconventional way, definitely not your typical teen horror fare. The practical effects are decent, adding to the film's rawness. Performances are quite compelling; the lead's desperation feels palpable. It's distinctive in how it melds teenage angst with horror in a way that’s both bizarre and strangely poignant. Definitely leaves an impression, if you're into that kind of thing.
