When I Was Six

About This Movie

When I Was Six is an intriguing piece of animation that leans heavily into the horror genre, but not in the typical way. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling sense of nostalgia, as the shadows in a child's bedroom morph into something both familiar and terrifying. It's fascinating how the computer animation creates a sense of depth and movement that feels almost tactile. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit in the discomfort of what lurks in the corners of the room. It evokes a child’s fear of the dark, and there’s a distinct artistry in how the shadows play against the light. The whole experience is a haunting reflection on childhood imagination and fear, making it a uniquely eerie watch.
