Shrinking
I genuinely feel like I’ve dreamed about this before. Not metaphorically — like I actually had a vivid dream where all of this happened. Am I crazy? Crazy? I was crazy once…
Anyways, Woof leans fully into that fever‑dream territory. It follows Kevin, a reclusive guy with a very specific hobby, whose simmering tension with his neighbor spirals into something increasingly unhinged. The film balances discomfort and dark humor in a way that keeps you constantly on edge, never quite sure where it’s headed next.
There’s something hypnotic about how it unfolds — awkward, escalating, and oddly familiar, like you’ve seen it play out in your head before, even if you haven’t. It’s bizarre without being random, and the commitment to its tone is what really sells it.
