Hypochondriac is both a brilliant character study and a moving portrayal of the real life horrors of childhood trauma and mental health disorders.
Zach Villa is outstanding as Will, giving a raw, charismatic and gripping performance as he portrays the character's battle with his past trauma and his weakening grasp on reality and his relationship with boyfriend Luke, played by Devon Graye.
The film masterfully plays in the horror genre to tackle real issues. As the film states it is based "on a real breakdown" of the the writer and director Addison Heimann.
It is intense and thought provoking, beautifully shot and edited, with some killer visual effects and creature design, and great performances by the rest of the cast.
It's also quite hilarious, with perfectly paced moments of dark humor. The "google" scene being particularly notable.
See it!
