Future Shock
A psychiatrist uses virtual reality to probe the minds of three unsuspecting patients, unleashing horrific psychic forces in the process.
Why it matters
A cerebral dive into early VR nightmares that fuses psychological horror with ’90s tech paranoia, Future Shock scratches a niche itch for retro sci-fi dread.
- Captures the raw unease of virtual reality’s infancy before the digital age felt seamless
- Twists mind-bending psychiatric horror through a low-fi lens, channeling Cronenberg’s body-psych mash-ups
- Practical effects and analog visuals create a tangible, unsettling atmosphere that digital can’t replicate
- For fans of cerebral, slow-burn horrors where the real terror lives inside the mind’s shadowy corridors
