“Dysphoria as an unseen spectre”. This isn’t a horror film but plays on the themes that it is so don’t expect it to be a horror film when going into this. One of my comfort films now after watching it a few times. The Worlds Fair is a story telling device and very much in the style of creepypasta games like candy man or Bloody Mary ect, giving people a device to tell their own story, wanting a sense and belonging in a community if only locked behind the digital screen. Very much isolated and depressing film and made me cry a few times once I put the pieces together, definitely worth the watch and will reward patient watchers who see it through till the end
mind bending, atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful. 2000s nostalgia at it's finest
Calling it a "film that's not for everyone" feels like half-assing it. Not every film is for everyone, but this film in particular is a nostalgia trip for a fairly specific kind of early 2000's lonely. For the people who grew up on IRC, Message Boards, Mailing List roleplays and Yahoo Messenger, this will be your jam, or at least has a fair chance to be.
More lo-fi horror
i’ve watched a LOT of ridiculous movies in my time and have never felt the need to review them as such but this one takes the cake, it is the STUPIDEST movie i’ve ever wasted my time on. if you’re looking for something to put you to sleep i definitely recommend otherwise don’t even bother.
