The Tapeworm

About This Movie

The Tapeworm is this kind of slow-burn thriller that lingers with you. Set against a desolate riverside and an old, crumbling house, it's all about that heavy atmosphere. You really feel the weight of the protagonist's sleepless nights and his spiraling thoughts on loss. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to sink into his disturbed psyche. The fishing partners he meets? They’re not just random; they embody a kind of unsettling camaraderie that hints at darker undercurrents. There's something distinct about how it plays with isolation and desperation, and the practical effects, while not overdone, add a layer of rawness. It's an intriguing watch that might not be for everyone, but it leaves an impression.
