Vermin

About This Movie

So, Vermin is this eerie little film where a guy, deep in his grief after a marriage falls apart, starts to realize there’s something lurking in the shadows. It has this grimy, claustrophobic atmosphere that really gets under your skin, and the pacing is slow but deliberate, pulling you into the protagonist's mind. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, adding a gritty realism that amplifies the horror elements. You feel the weight of his loneliness, but also the creeping dread of whatever’s out there — it’s unsettling. The performances carry a raw intensity, especially as the man confronts his inner demons and the external horrors that mirror them. It’s a unique blend of psychological and supernatural, making it stick in your memory long after watching.

Vermin has had a bit of a turbulent release history, with various formats popping up here and there but nothing too widespread. Its scarcity appeals to collectors who appreciate horror films that delve into psychological themes rather than just jump scares. There’s a growing interest as more collectors seek out those hidden gems that evoke a sense of unease while also being distinctly character-driven.
