The Occultist is an intriguing piece of horror that dives into the dark side of academia. Picture this: a seemingly normal final exam day for med students, but things quickly spiral into a nightmare. Their professor, a sinister figure, orchestrates a disturbing Satanic ritual that grabs you right from the start. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing keeps you on edge – it’s not just jump scares, but a creeping dread that lingers. The practical effects stand out, adding a raw edge to the film's brutality. Performances by the cast, though lesser-known, have a gritty authenticity that pulls you in. It’s not your average slasher; it leans into themes of betrayal and the loss of innocence, making it a unique entry in the horror genre.
