Extramundane

A great indie horror movie with good acting and surprising story twists. Wonderful photography and sets. I thought the story developed rather nicely and got me hooked the whole time. It's admirable that they got a movie out about the pandemic so fast. Interesting to see a reflection on current events. I also liked how the suspense slowly developed. This kind of movie needs more exposure. Instead of the boring Hollywood formulaic plots this movie offers a fresh perspective on life in general and in particular during a pandemic. Since we all have to suffer through this, it offers some relieve to see that the protagonists got it even worse than us.

From the dread-laden opening chords and the menacing shots of rusted pipes, it's clear we're in for a tense and unsettling tale. Extramundane plunges us into the life of Trevor (Brant Rotnem), who takes on the role of property manager at a disturbingly eerie apartment complex amid a pandemic. As Trevor navigates his new job, he grapples with the loss of his father and the mysterious disappearances of various tenants.

The film is saturated with mystery, keeping the audience on edge as it unravels its dark secrets. The cinematography is leeched of color, providing a gritty, almost oppressive feel that perfectly matches the film's tone. The sound design and score are particularly effective, heightening the tension and drawing viewers deeper into the narrative.

While Extramundane includes several slow-burn dialogue scenes, it's the direction and cinematography that truly shine, keeping audiences glued to the unfolding story. The film masterfully combines its visual and auditory elements to create a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.

Really timely story that just pulls you in. Lots of great mystery. The cinematography gives it a gritty, realistic feel. The music adds to the intensity as well.

A really nice indie thriller set during the pandemic that slowly builds the suspense and doesn't let up. Very atmospheric. The slow burn suspense is definitely enhanced by the cinematography and music. Both are extremely well done. And the interesting way video chats and on screen texts are displayed, truly elevates this from the usual low budget fare.

Admittedly, I'm a sucker for "contained" and isolation films and so may of them fall short and are just plain boring. But this one works really well on all levels. The story, the music, camerawork and direction... recommend this one. It won't disappoint!

Creative title with a very creepy premise this was a well crafted story with solid performances. Beautifully shot especially considering this was made at the height of lockdowns. Excellent work here so if you dig a claustrophobic thriller this is for you!
