The Gloaming

About This Movie

The Gloaming is this fascinating little gem that dives into the eerie absurdity of office life, right? You’ve got this worker who’s kind of trapped—not just in his cubicle but also in this surreal nightmare. The animation style adds to that unsettling vibe, really blurring the lines between reality and the dark corners of his mind. The pacing keeps you on edge; it’s a slow burn that amplifies the tension with each sinister visit during the night shift. The practical effects, though limited, have this raw quality that enhances the overall atmosphere. It feels like a commentary on the monotony of corporate life and the toll it takes on one’s psyche. Definitely not your standard animation fare, that’s for sure.
