Telos

About This Movie

So, 'Telos' is this intriguing little horror flick from 2017 that explores the idea of wishes gone wrong. There’s this boy who stumbles upon a strange object that grants him what he desires, but man, it spirals out of control pretty quickly. The atmosphere is thick, almost oppressive at times, and the pacing keeps you on edge without dragging. The practical effects lend a gritty realism that feels refreshing amidst all the CGI we often see. The performances are decent, capturing that childlike wonder mixed with growing dread. It definitely dives into themes of greed and consequence, which gives it a nice depth. Overall, it’s not your run-of-the-mill horror—there’s a certain distinctiveness that might resonate with collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
