Superstar (2023) dives into the murky waters of fame and mental unraveling. Frankie, our lead, is grappling with the aftermath of a car accident that’s left her in a haze of psychosis. The film trades on a slow burn, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which mirrors her spiraling mind. The horror isn’t in jump scares but in the palpable dread - the way reality blurs. Practical effects are subtly employed, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. The direction, though unknown, captures that disorienting experience of a life turned upside down. Frankie’s performance is raw and haunting, anchoring the film as it navigates themes of identity and perception. It's one of those pieces that lingers, challenging the viewer long after it ends.
