About This Movie

Test Subject (2020) explores a unique premise in the fantasy genre, where the atmosphere is both eerie and disorienting. Superior Girl, our protagonist, finds herself thrust into a bizarre laboratory setting after being incapacitated in her own home. The pacing is a bit uneven, almost mirroring her own confusion and struggle to understand her surroundings. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, lend a certain authenticity to the bizarre experiments she witnesses. There's a certain tension in the air, heightened by the doctor’s ambiguous motives. It leans into themes of control and the unknown, making it quite a distinct piece. The performances, particularly from the unknown cast, are raw and help ground the film's outlandish premise in a reality that feels unnervingly close.

Interesting take on the fantasy genre.Notably distinctive for its practical effects.The atmosphere keeps you on edge throughout.
