Vertical

About This Movie

Vertical (2017) is an intriguing mix of comedy and horror that explores friendship twisted by betrayal. The film's tone shifts sharply, creating a delicate balance that keeps you guessing. Arnau and Helena’s dynamic feels genuine, pulling you into their world before the betrayal shakes everything up. The vertical video angle - pun intended - gives it a refreshing visual twist. Practical effects are minimal but they hit all the right notes, especially in how they enhance the comedic moments amidst some genuinely unsettling scenes. The pacing is tight, blending humor with darker elements seamlessly, leaving you with a sense of unease long after the credits roll. It’s not your typical genre fare, and that’s what stands out here.
