What I'm Hiding From You...

About This Movie

So, this one, 'What I'm Hiding From You...' really caught me off guard in a good way. It’s an animation but dives headfirst into horror territory, which is kind of a rare combo. The pacing is tight, and the atmosphere is thick with tension, reflecting the chaos of overstimulation. Zayn’s journey through this hectic world is a striking depiction of navigating life as a neurodivergent person—intense visuals and unsettling sound design amplify that struggle. The practical effects are haunting, adding a gritty edge to the animated style. It’s a short, yes, but it packs a punch, and you really feel for Zayn as they confront what they’re becoming. There’s something really distinctive about it, a fresh take on a dialogue that needs more voices.
