Stine

About This Movie

So, Stine is one of those curious entries from 1979 that kind of floats under the radar. The drama unfolds with a slow burn, giving you time to soak in the atmospheric tension - it’s almost like you're lingering in a fog. The themes delve into existential questions and personal struggles, and the performances feel raw and unguarded, which adds to the overall mood. There’s this sense of realism that’s hard to pinpoint, maybe because of the practical effects that, while not flashy, anchor the film in a certain gritty authenticity. It’s not perfect, but there's something about its pacing and tone that keeps you engaged, making it an interesting artifact from that era.

Stine has seen limited releases over the years, with its original format largely unavailable, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. The interest in this film seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate lesser-known dramas from the late '70s. It's often discussed in niche collector circles, particularly for its unique pacing and the authenticity of its performances, which stand out amidst more mainstream offerings from the time.
