"While the narrative primarily focuses on sexuality, gender, and desire, its overarching purpose is to pay homage to the plethora of classic slasher movies that paved the way for the modern horrors we know today. Brimming with meta-commentary, witty humour, and visual surrealism, Camp Miasma refuses to conform to conventional modern-horror tropes and instead spends its two-hour runtime playing into a stylish yet deliberately ambiguous realm of dreamscape surrealism,"

OBSESSION
Dir: Curry Barker
Genre: Horror
"Obsession seamlessly accumulates every familiar horror trope and blends them into one relentlessly anxiety-inducing cinematic experience. I left the cinema completely shaken, unsure exactly what I'd watched or why it had affected me so profoundly. Barker has crafted a horror film that is terrifying enough to provoke audible screams, yet somehow even scarier once you unpack its subtext."
★★★★☆
"My biggest and arguably only criticism would be its pacing and equilibrium - I’m outspoken in the fact that many films that exceed a two-hour runtime have absolutely no business in doing so, much less a film following a possession story arc, and usually do themselves a disservice in doing so. As stated, the horror genre demands reaction and complete immersion, qualities that can quickly falter if fleshed out too long"
★★★☆☆
"The story reaches its anticlimactic ending with countless loose threads, unanswered questions and mass exhaustion after a painfully dragged out plot. And while this may be unbearably slow-paced at times, it is consistent, begging the same question throughout: what makes a soulmate? Is it a tangible pull to someone, a cosmic union of destiny, or are soul mates just whoever you can convince yourself is?"
★★☆☆☆
