Still

About This Movie

So, 'Still' is an interesting piece from 2018. You’ve got Vanessa, this determined photojournalist, diving into a local disturbance—classic setup, but it’s how they handle it that sets it apart. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing is deliberate, building tension without rushing. What I found distinct is the way her camera almost becomes a character itself, showing us things that aren't visible to the naked eye. The practical effects lean into the horror without overdoing it, which I appreciate. The performances feel raw, especially from the lead. It’s not your typical run-of-the-mill horror flick; there's a cerebral quality to it that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

The use of practical effects adds a layer of realism.Pacing is slow-burn but rewarding.Themes of perception and reality play a key role.
