Haze (2005) Movie Review

Haze (2005) IMDB

Haze movie poster

When I looked at the Wikipedia page for this movie, it is described as a “mystery horror film”. I really think that describes this movie well. A man wakes up in a concrete passageway and does not know how he got there, or of course where he is. With a little bit of work he finds he is in a concrete maze. From a movie perspective this is a very dark looking movie and the way it is shot makes you feel the claustrophobia of the character. Unfortunately, it also includes what I can only assume is some purposeful shaky camerawork. I did have to look away from the screen a few times during some extra shaky scenes.

The plot of the movie moves as you think it would. What is happening, and why…with some slow movement crawling throughout the maze. Eventually he meets a woman in the maze and they try to figure out what is happening together. The long version of this movie, which I watched clocks in at 49 minutes, with a short version only 25 minutes long.

I thought the concept was good, but the movie was just ok.

I give it a 5.8/10.
