This is a very good and sadly very relatable psychological horror film about generational trauma and the damage a parent can do to their child when mental illness goes unchecked. The fact that the main character is a gay man hit that much closer to home. Had this been…
Tony the TerrorMar 16, 2022queer body horror that’s both sparse and erotic; an impressive debut and one that embraces the more abstract fringes of the genre while not alienating those that just want to be scared — but there are some moments here that will be jarring for even the more jaded genre vets
Justin LaLibertyAug 9, 2022A slow-burning descent into madness, that blurs the lines between reality and delusion. I’m a bit conflicted about how I feel about this film as it oscillates between a frighteningly dark family drama and perhaps a silly, over the top portrayal of mental illness. Though…

This film had so much potential. Too bad, it lacks in execution. It's such an interesting exploration of childhood trauma and relationships, presented in the form of a somewhat metaphorical/hallucinatory horror film. I was so captivated by this character and his story. This…
Andrei GirardAug 5, 2022This starts off nicely and dives into the leads issue of feeling as though something is wrong but everyone keeps telling him it’s stress (which has actually happened to me so I’m kinda suprised this didn’t hit me hard) .. then there’s his boyfriend who just wants him to…
Steph_hJul 20, 2022Despite a boisterous leading performance and timely commentary on the flaws of the health care system, Hypochondriac lost me midway and its title left me confused as to what it was really trying to say especially after such a compelling manifestation of mental illness.
