With an eerie L.A. backdrop, and the music to enhance it, TILT is intense and suspenseful from start to finish.

But what sets this little gem apart, and transcends its genre, is the thought-provoking - and, ultimately, truly terrifying - relatability of the main character. It's one thing to watch someone do terrible things with deliberate intent; that could never be us. It's something else when that person is as confused and creeped out as we are, watching him. Especially since Joe's "predicament" is so relatable too - questions about the value of his work, his impending fatherhood, the pressure to support a family, and, beyond all that, a world where Donald Trump is emerging as a viable force.

The walls close in around him and he reacts without knowing why. He has no skills in looking at himself; he just doesn't understand. Bad things happen. He does them, on impulse - or fails to, with one brilliant scene in particular where a mundane, honest comment stops him. Artfully directed and photographed, with tight, smart and honest writing that tackles a difficult subject, TILT doesn't waste a moment, tracking Joe's disintegration in a way that seems inevitable - yet tragic. That's where the horror comes in: This could be us. Or - as Joe's wife discovers - someone we know. And Joseph Cross delivers every nuance - he's actually astonishing. In the closing scene, by the way, there's a final beat that's organic but unexpected and ultimately haunting ...

There's a lot going on here. I need to see it again.… Expand

This movie is really genius. The writing is amazing. In the same vein as "Get Out" although a different genre of people ...aka white people. :) It holds interest ... it is scary from a smart perspective. I do not like horror films at allThis movie is really genius. The writing is amazing.

I do not like horror films at all but I loved this film. It will surprise you and give you things to think about and won't leave you for like ... well ... ever i guess! :) It is well thought out and has a visceral impact. Give it a try. You will see. :)… Expand
