Fear of Rain 2021

Enjoyable and tense fast paced watch, but with a few flaws the more you think about it 7/10.

What I liked:
The element of uncertainty regarding the reality of the main character
This creeping sense that builds up to the finale where things get extremely wild
The twist is good but I think entirely predictable and hinted at a bit too obviously

What I didn’t like so much:
Although unqualified to make too much of a judgement, I feel like the portrayal of schizophrenia is perhaps a little problematic/ dramatised. Sometimes watching it felt like are they kind of exploiting this very real illness to make an over the top story
I felt like there could have been a few more creepy moments with the neighbour whether imagined or otherwise as that actress just nailed the creepy vibe
The twist at the end is basically the dad is a dumbass and never believes his daughter, it seems like literally everything would have been sorted if he had a little faith or was more honest with her
