The Fight or Flight Response

About This Movie

The Fight or Flight Response really dives into psychological territory, blending a sense of dread with the intimacy of a friends' gathering. As the night goes on, Alex's conviction about an unseen presence creates a palpable tension, especially in those quiet moments where it feels like the walls are closing in. The pacing is deliberate, taking its time to build that atmosphere of paranoia. There’s a rawness in the performances; you can almost feel their fear and confusion. The practical effects, while minimal, serve the eerie tone well, leaving the unseen to your imagination. It's distinct in how it uses space and sound to create horror without the usual jump scares. Just a creeping sense of something lurking, which really gets under your skin.
