Straight

About This Movie

Straight delves into a gritty narrative that feels raw and unfiltered, something that pulls you in but doesn't hold your hand. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw you off, but it adds to that sense of unpredictability. The performances might not be polished but they carry a weight of authenticity. You get the sense that every actor is really diving into their roles, which gives the film a unique, almost documentary-like feel. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and while the practical effects aren't groundbreaking, they serve the story well, enhancing the overall tone. There's a sense of realism that permeates through the film, making it distinctive from other works of its time.

Straight is a bit of an oddity in the collector's scene, not widely circulated and often overlooked. It first appeared on VHS, with limited releases making original copies pretty scarce. Interest has been growing, particularly among collectors who appreciate independent films with a raw edge, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.
