Review by Victoria Angelique:
The film, IMMERSION, captures the audience from the first few frames with spooky special effects and captivating cinematography. It gives the feeling of a ghostly presence in the empty house, a theme that continues as the people arrive as the effects evolve into playing with shadows to make the protagonist feel as if she's going crazy.
The lighting design gives a nod to the classic horror films. The scenes set at night use blue and amber hues, allowing everything to still be visible in the frame. Shadows are able to be seen more clearly, along with the characters faces and ghostly movement. Nothing is kept in the dark, yet the film is still suspenseful. It's the way this genre used to be made, where playing with the lighting added to the story in an artistic fashion.
The story has depth to it, rather than just a basic ghost story for the sake of scaring the audience. Alisha is dealing with the stress of a new move, trying to adjust as a new single mother and being stalked. Ghosts are just the icing on the cake, a factor that makes her think that she might actually be going insane. The story wraps up nicely, as she deals with the presence in her new home and her life issues.
Fans of ghost stories and drama might want to give IMMERSION a chance. The sound design gives a haunting score with the special effects and gripping story keeping the audience glued to the screen until the end.
