Turning Different is an intriguing blend of family-friendly summer vibes mixed with horror undertones. The film captures that quintessential camp atmosphere, but then it veers into unsettling territory. Kids' laughter morphs into something eerie, and the performances by the young cast provide a genuine sense of fear and confusion. Ilya Belostotsky weaves tension through slow pacing, allowing the audience to simmer in the atmosphere before the more chilling moments hit. What stands out is the practical effects—they’re not overdone, but just enough to evoke discomfort. The themes of conformity and the loss of innocence resonate throughout, making it more than just a standard camp horror flick. It leaves you with a lingering sense of unease, which is always a sign of something distinctive.
