A fearless and terrifying view into addiction

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2019)

Requiem for a Dream is one of those movies that's honestly the closest thing that could be a horror movie in real life. Stuff like this happens everyday to people and they hardly ever recover. While no one dies in the film, that almost makes it worse considering the hell and terror all of the characters have been through. While it's considered a drama, Requiem has horror touches that are executed in the way you would see in real life: psychological horror (the hallucinations and paranoia), physical torture (electroshock therapy, amputation, sodomy), and even hauntings (more hallucinations).
This movie successfully inflicts the emotions of real life horror and it sticks with us.
