The Cut

About This Movie

The Cut (2021) presents a chilling exploration of isolation through the lens of an archivist grappling with the manifestations of his own obsessions. The atmosphere is thick with dread, punctuated by the flickering glow of the old projector—a perfect backdrop for this encounter with a malevolent entity. It’s interesting how the film plays with sound and silence, creating an unsettling tension as it unfolds. The practical effects are noteworthy; they’ve managed to evoke a sense of real terror without over-relying on CGI. The pacing drags a bit in places, but it builds an eerie ambiance that’s hard to shake off. If you're into horror that feels both retro and fresh, this one's a curious find. It's definitely distinctive in its approach.
