This Sucks

About This Movie

This Sucks dives deep into the often overlooked intersection of mental health and everyday life. It paints a raw, relatable portrait of Jess, whose tangible demon embodies her struggles with depression. The film's atmosphere leans heavily on a mix of dark humor and stark realism, making it both unsettling and oddly comforting. The pacing is deliberately slow, which mirrors Jess's own journey through her malaise, allowing the audience to really sit with her discomfort. What’s distinctive here are the practical effects used to illustrate the demon, providing a surreal yet grounded representation of internal battles that many face. The performances, especially from Jess and her roommates, bring an authentic vibe that resonates long after the credits roll.

This Sucks remains a bit of an underground gem, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles. Its distribution has been limited, making it somewhat hard to track down, particularly on physical media. Collector interest has been growing, especially among those who appreciate films that tackle serious themes through unique storytelling and practical effects. Keep an eye out for any special release or screenings as this film has the potential to gain a more dedicated following.
