The Womb

Okay, The Womb messed me up—in the best way. I went in expecting some creepy monster vibes (and yeah, there’s that), but this movie is so much more. It’s like if A Quiet Place and Black Swan had a weird, emotional baby. Sami, the main character, is deaf and living alone in this creepy, abandoned neighborhood. Something is out there, and the only hint it’s coming is this low hum she hears through her cochlear implant (which, honestly, is such a cool and terrifying idea). She’s holding out hope her missing family will come back... and refusing to leave even as the military’s like, “We’re gonna nuke this place, FYI.” Then these two super weird people show up with a bomb “fueled by Hell” (???), and things get trippy. You’re never totally sure what’s real, and by the end... oof. Let’s just say I wasn’t emotionally prepared. It’s spooky, it’s sad, and it totally messed with my head. But in a good way. If you like horror with actual emotional depth—and don’t mind questioning reality for a bit—The Womb is 100% worth the watch. Just... maybe have tissues nearby.
