The Occulist delivers a gritty, claustrophobic atmosphere that really draws you in. The film unfolds with a sense of dread that builds as the med students, already under pressure from exams, are thrust into a horrifying nightmare orchestrated by their own professor. The practical effects, though not always seamless, have a raw quality that adds to the unsettling nature of the film. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it serves to heighten the tension as the students fight for survival. Performances vary, with some actors really leaning into the horror and others feeling a bit stiff. Still, the underlying themes of betrayal and the perversion of knowledge create an intriguing narrative. It's a film that sticks with you, in a creeping way.
