Usal (2023) dives into that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped, both physically and psychologically. A student alone in a classroom—there's an eerie simplicity that resonates deeply. The atmosphere is thick with tension, made even more unsettling by the practical effects that really enhance the creeping dread. Pacing is deliberately slow at times, letting the unease build, but then it hits you with sudden jolts that catch you off guard. The performances are raw and genuine, capturing that mix of fear and curiosity. This film leans into themes of isolation and the unknown, leaving you questioning what lurks in familiar spaces. It’s definitely got its own vibe, distinct in how it plays with expectations. Worth a watch for sure.
