The New Hire is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, where you can feel the tension building as Barry Johnson's obsession deepens. The film plays with the themes of identity and memory, making you question what's real versus what's imagined. The pacing has this unique rhythm, sometimes meandering, yet it pulls you in with its quirky charm. I found the performances pretty engaging, especially how Barry's descent into paranoia is portrayed with a delicate balance of humor and seriousness. The low-key practical effects serve the story well, enhancing the overall atmosphere without overshadowing the characters. It’s definitely a film that leaves you pondering long after the credits roll, making it stand out in a cluttered indie landscape.
