The Consumer

About This Movie

The Consumer is a fascinating entry in the horror genre, blending the mundane with the sinister. Directed by Daniel Merino Villavicencio, it captures this creeping dread through Anna’s obsession with online shopping, leading to a late-night delivery that isn’t quite what it seems. The pacing is deliberately slow at first, enhancing the unsettling atmosphere; you can feel the tension build in your gut. Practical effects are used effectively, grounding the horror in reality, which amplifies the eerie nature of the unfolding events. Performances are solid, particularly the lead, who conveys a gradual descent into paranoia and obsession. It's not your typical horror flick, it explores themes of consumerism and alienation in this tech-driven age, making it a unique specimen for collectors.
