Teddy

About This Movie

Teddy (2020) is a curious blend of comedy, drama, and horror that captures the unsettling atmosphere of rural France. The story follows Teddy, a young man who gets scratched by a mysterious beast and then starts to change in ways that are both unsettling and oddly humorous. The pacing feels measured, allowing tension to build while also giving space for moments of dark levity. The practical effects are impressive, adding a tactile quality to those transformations that CGI often lacks. The performances are noteworthy, with a raw authenticity that evokes sympathy and dread in equal measure. The film doesn’t fit neatly into one genre, which makes it an interesting piece for collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
