Tether

About This Movie

Tether is an intriguing blend of horror and science fiction that plays on the themes of friendship and the strain of dependency. You’ve got DJ, freshly unemployed, crashing at his buddy Sergio's place, and the atmosphere quickly shifts from casual camaraderie to something more sinister. The slow build-up of tension is palpable, really keeping you on edge as they confront these weird occurrences. The practical effects are notable - they don't overwhelm but add a layer of discomfort that feels grounded. Performances are raw and really capture that essence of friendship fraying under pressure. It’s this mix of psychological tension and sci-fi elements that makes it stand out, rather than just leaning on jump scares.

Great example of indie horrorInteresting take on friendship dynamicsNot for everyone, but very unique in its approach
