Waisen

About This Movie

So, 'Waisen' from '98 is an interesting piece, right? It dives into the psyche of this axe murderer, which is a bit unconventional, given the horror genre's typical tropes. The tone is a strange mix of bleak introspection and unsettling moments that keep you on edge. Pacing feels a bit uneven sometimes, but it kind of adds to that unsettling vibe. The practical effects are decent for its time; you can tell they put effort into crafting the gore, which feels raw and gritty. The performances, while not overly polished, bring a certain authenticity to the characters, especially the lead. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill slasher; it’s more of a character study wrapped in horror, which makes it stand apart.
