Well Crafted point for point Psychological horror

"Bethany" is a well crafted Horror title that, unlike most horror, doesn't spend half the budget on fake blood and prosthetics. It doubles down on plot and character development. Aaron (Zack ward) is an easily relatable husband wanting only a family and financial security with his wife Claire (Stefanie Estes) This is put in Jeopardy when the couple inherit Claire's mother's house and Claire starts to experience a psychological breakdown the source of which is explained through the movie. The episodes are believable in what a psychosis looks like, ranging from to the "no way that's actually happening" to the "maybe that is real". Overall the movie is enjoyable, well written and acted. It has the quota of jump scares and uncomfortable shots one would expect but the best part was the questions to the nature of a psychosis and how would people really react to it ? Overall I recommend you watch it if you want a story that has more body than blood.
