Wellness Check

About This Movie

Wellness Check is an eerie exploration of friendship and isolation. The film starts off slow, building tension as a man, concerned for his friend, decides to pay a visit after a week of silence. The atmosphere is thick with dread, almost claustrophobic at times, making you feel the weight of his anxiety. It plays with the mundane turning sinister, which is always a nice touch in horror. The practical effects, though not over-the-top, are effectively unsettling, enhancing the overall creepiness. The performances are raw, capturing that unnerving vulnerability. What really stands out is how it delves into the psychological horror of not knowing, pulling you into that dark place of worry and paranoia. It's definitely got its own vibe going on.
