Hypochondriac Reviews
This is like a twenty-something LGBTQ+ Donnie Darko, complete with psychedelic conversations with prescient creatures wearing animal suits.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 3, 2022
A rather good psychodrama about repressed childhood trauma that’s also an underwhelming horror movie about mental illness.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2022
The movie links cinematic thrill with real illness, tying movie monstrosity to specific psychiatric symptoms. Its armchair psychology makes for queasy viewing, a conflation of diagnosis and damnation.

A trippy psychological thriller which flirts with body horror but never fully commits, Hypochondriac is a slippery, shape-shifting proposition which defies easy categorisation.

Hypochrondriac finds little poetry in its obvious representations of grief and trauma.
