Wisp

About This Movie

Wisp is one of those indie gems that really leans into its atmospheric tension. The story revolves around a group of college students, which sets it up for that classic 'being lost in the woods' vibe. The pacing has that slow burn that really ramps up, especially when they're cut off from the outside world. The legend of Will-O-Wisps is a neat touch; it weaves folklore into their predicament, which adds to the dread. There are practical effects that stand out in a way that you don’t often see in similar films. Performances are raw, maybe not polished but they give it a certain authenticity. It’s not your typical horror-thriller, and that distinctiveness makes it intriguing for collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
