The Itch

About This Movie

So, 'The Itch' from 2019, huh? It’s got this really unsettling tone that creeps up on you. The pacing's a bit off at times, but it adds to the overall disorientation. Addy's character is intriguing—her descent into obsession feels relatable, even if it spirals into the surreal. The practical effects, especially as her itch becomes something more sinister, are effective in a gritty, low-budget way. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can almost feel Addy’s frustration radiating off the screen, especially with the dismissive responses from her husband and the medical professionals. It sort of plays with the theme of being unheard, which, let's be honest, is a pretty effective horror angle.
