Frighteningly good psychological drama

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2019)

I wasn't expecting to like this film as it isn't something I would typically choose to watch, but what a pleasant surprise I was in for. I thought 'Black Swan' was great - the best psychological thriller I've seen in a long time. The pacing and the way the film builds suspense and tension is masterfully done and I was hooked from start to finish.
The flashes of horror in this film work really well. They are tastefully added and are never overdone, which was refreshing to see. The most impressive part of this film though is its ending, which I'll admit I did not see coming. It is perfectly executed and is a great way to end what is a very dark, creepy thriller.
I liked 'Black Swan' a lot - this is a very effective psychological drama that builds brilliantly to a haunting climax. Unexpected, but great. Would definitely recommend!
