'Jethica' sits at the intersection of dark comedy and supernatural thriller that delivers on its promise of feeling like a grown-up version of an 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' episode. Our SXSW2022 review:
Over the past decade, filmmakers have been looking for new ways to bend and defy genres by taking two conflicting genres and marrying them together for a new movie-going experience. Jethica sits at the intersection of a dark comedy and a supernatural thriller, creatively blending the genres together to create a refreshingly unique approach to stalker ghosts.
When it becomes apparent that Jessica’s stalker Kevin just won’t quit haunting her, the duo has to look for answers from the beyond and in the process, Elena has to face her own personal ghosts. Clocking in at just over one hour, Peter Ohs’ third feature touches on difficult themes like stalking, murder, depression, and suicide, and packages it into an off-beat tale. Jethica can meander quite a bit, much like Benny and Kevin’s endless walk, but the slow burn delivers a truly ghoulish delight. There is a certain unexpected sorrow infused into the plot which will force its audience to look inward and unpack their own ghosts and consider what will be left behind when they’re gone.
