Hypochondriac (2022)
8/10
One of the strongest and most talented casts I have seen in any movie all year
1 October 2022
I have to admit, this movie took me by complete surprise. I wasn't expecting to become so invested in these characters, their struggles, and I found myself being drawn in to the movie like few films have accomplished to do for me in all of 2022. It wasn't the story, or the script, or even the "horror" aspects of the film, but the cast itself that really elevated this film for me.

Everyone was so talented, charismatic, and the chemistry between them palpable even through the television screen. Even the characters with very few lines or screen time gave their 110% to this film, and I could not for the life of me find a single weak link. The casting for this film saved it from being a simple, mediocre story, and the flaws this movie did have pale in comparison to the strength of the ensemble.

Although this isn't a traditional horror film by any means, personal trauma is a horrifying subject for many of us, and seeing it presented this way left me uncomfortable, disturbed, and shaken by the end of the movie. But I enjoyed it so much that not even that could make me speak ill of it.

An overall pleasant experience that is made that much better by an amazingly talented and capable cast. Watch it for the acting alone. You won't be disappointed.
