So, 'The First Time' from 2017, it’s got this eerie vibe that lingers. You follow this young man recounting his first experience, but it quickly shifts from feeling personal to something more sinister. It’s straddling that line of coming-of-age and psychological horror. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to feel the tension build. There's a real focus on atmosphere, with practical effects that give it a raw edge rather than relying on CGI. The performances feel genuine, especially how the protagonist navigates his memories and fears. It’s not your typical horror flick, and I think that’s what makes it stand out. You get this haunting sense of nostalgia mixed with dread, which is interesting, to say the least.
