Independent Arthouse Horror
Effigy blends art-house and horror elements well and has a plot that effectively explains things that would normally be hindrances in other independent films and uses them to its full narrative advantage. The film prioritizes atmosphere over sheer shock value, building an eerie, unsettling ambiance that leads to its conclusion. It's a unique approach that distinguishes it from mainstream horror flicks.
The protagonists' psychological state and the immersive settings contribute significantly to this sense of unease, Effigy isn't just about scaring you with immediate threats; it's about drawing you into a world where the very fabric of reality feels uncertain and off-kilter.
