Subtle and Brilliant

"Sodium Party" follows Claire (Slaine Kelly) through a harrowing childhood to university where she meets Danny, a frequently intoxicated photographer who exposes her to real life through a cocktail of love and drugs.

Approaching this film as a horror movie, it is not your typical scare. There is not much in the way of blood, guts and women running through the woods. Instead of focusing on the emotion of "terror", this film instead looks at the scariness of anxiety. A real life scare many suffer from.

Throw in some drugs, some delusions, some fantasy, and you have a really solid film. This may not appeal to everyone, but it is worth a watch for those with open minds. Unique, interesting, and well-acted.
