Stiff (2023) dives deep into the unsettling experience of sleep paralysis. The film crafts a suffocating atmosphere, as our protagonist finds herself ensnared in a waking nightmare. The pacing is deliberate, amplifying the tension as she grapples with both her fears and this lurking creature that feels almost too familiar. The practical effects are noteworthy, grounding the horror in a way that CGI often misses. Performances are raw, especially from the lead, who carries the weight of fear so well. It's not just about jump scares; it explores the darker corners of the mind, playing on primal fears. There's a sense of dread that lingers, making it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate psychological horror.
