The Kiss (2021) dives deep into the psyche of a woman grappling with post-pandemic anxiety, a theme that’s all too relatable. The way the film captures her spiraling mental state is haunting, with a tone that oscillates between eerie and disturbingly intimate. It features some striking practical effects that really stick with you—especially in the scenes where her visions blur the line between reality and her fears. The pacing is deliberately slow, building tension that creeps up on you, making each moment feel heavy with dread. Performances are raw and compelling, drawing you into her world of isolation and dread. It’s this blend of psychological horror and visceral imagery that sets it apart in a landscape often dominated by supernatural tropes.
