The Barista (2013) dives deep into the seemingly mundane world of coffee culture, but don't let the lattes fool you. There's an unsettling undercurrent that runs through the film, where the protagonist's charm masks a chilling secret. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, building tension as we unravel layers of mystery surrounding the barista. It plays with themes of isolation and the duality of human nature, all while keeping the viewer on edge. Practical effects add a gritty realism to the horror elements, elevating the experience. Performances are solid too; they capture that uncanny vibe of someone who seems normal yet is anything but. Definitely has a vibe that's hard to shake off, which I appreciate in a horror film.
