The Insect Woman (2017) dives into the murky waters of high school life, exploring the themes of disgust and emotional disconnect. The atmosphere is thick with tension and unease, almost suffocating, as the protagonist grapples with her own twisted sense of feelings. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to absorb the unsettling moments rather than rushing through them. What stands out are the practical effects that are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the horror without overdoing it. Performances lean into the unsettling nature of the narrative, making you question the very nature of empathy and cruelty. This film definitely has a unique vibe, and it sticks with you long after the credits roll.
