VIBE

This film plunges into a deeply unsettling, surreal nightmare, twisting the familiar into grotesque new forms. It's a disturbing journey through subconscious fears, blending visceral horror with a propulsive, dream-logic intensity. Expect a dark, stylized experience that preys on primal anxieties with a distinctly 80s slasher sensibility.
