The Not Polly dives into a twisted scenario where the high school darling, Polly, finds herself in a morgue, leading to a haunting exploration of beauty and horror. The film's atmosphere is thick with dread; it grips you with a slow, creeping tension that builds as Polly confronts her new reality of being trapped between life and death. Possession themes run deep, and while the pacing can feel deliberate, it ramps up the psychological unease quite effectively. The practical effects are a standout, giving the more visceral moments an edge that CGI just can't match. Performances are solid—especially in how Polly grapples with her predicament, making it a unique blend of body horror and teenage angst.
The film has had a bit of a rocky release history, which adds to its intrigue among collectors. Limited editions and VHS copies are scarce, often sought after due to the film’s unique premise and practical effects that evoke a retro feel. The underground appeal and cult status are growing, making it a noteworthy piece for those who appreciate lesser-known horror titles.
