Through the Haze

About This Movie

Through the Haze is a haunting piece that lingers with you, doesn’t it? The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost palpable, as the sun dips and shadows stretch. Diogo Salgado crafts a narrative that's as much about the encroaching darkness as it is about childhood innocence. The dynamic between the two kids feels real, almost nostalgic, yet unsettling. It’s interesting how the lake seems to take on a life of its own, with practical effects that evoke a sense of dread without overreliance on CGI. There’s this slow build-up, a pacing that mirrors the creeping anxiety you feel when something is just off. The performances are raw and layered, which adds depth to the mystery unfolding around them. Definitely a unique take on the genre.
