Standards and Musings

About This Movie

So, 'Standards and Musings' is quite the peculiar gem. It blends animation with this haunting, almost surreal beauty. You’ve got this solitary character wandering through an eerily empty city, and it’s like each frame pulses with a sense of isolation. The elevator becomes this metaphorical portal, which I find really intriguing. The pacing is deliberate, letting you soak in the atmosphere—there’s tension, but it creeps up slowly rather than slamming you. The horror elements are understated, relying more on the visuals and the mood rather than jump scares. It's distinct, not your run-of-the-mill horror flick, and the practical effects used add a certain texture that feels refreshing amidst typical CGI-heavy animations.
