Description: A chilling whisper in the dark, 'Head Count' (2023) isn't just a horror film; it's a meticulously crafted descent into paranoia and the fragility of human connection. The film masterfully uses claustrophobia, not just as a setting, but as a visceral reflection of the characters' internal struggles. What begins as a seemingly simple camping trip morphs into a terrifying exploration of trust, betrayal, and the insidious nature of fear itself. The unsettling atmosphere is palpable, a symphony of dread built on subtle sound design and expertly paced tension. While the narrative unfolds with measured precision, it's the emotional core—the unraveling of friendships under pressure—that truly lingers. This isn't a jump-scare fest; it's a slow burn that will leave you questioning the very nature of reality long after the credits roll. A must-see for fans of psychological thrillers seeking a truly unsettling experience.
