Swipe

About This Movie

So, 'Swipe' is an interesting little gem in the indie horror scene from 2019. It really taps into that modern anxiety about online dating, which feels super relevant today. The pacing is deliberate, building dread as the protagonist realizes that her swipe decisions have taken on a life of their own. The atmosphere is tense, with a gnawing sense of paranoia that creeps in as she feels the stalker’s presence. While the director is unknown, the performances are solid, particularly that of the lead actress, who conveys both vulnerability and rising terror convincingly. It’s intriguing how it uses practical effects in some key moments – it adds a layer of realism that heightens the overall unsettling vibe. There’s a certain rawness that makes it stand out in the genre.
