Dawn C @DawnC11 4h I didn't know how much a movie could make me sweat. The relationship dynamics were so painfully real, and so steamy, I never knew what was going to happen next. This is a true indie film that delivers, and I'll be honest, I had to watch it twice I enjoyed it so much. I picked up even more nuance on the second watch. I loved the element of Shibari, and the conversation surrounding consent and what happens when boundaries are crossed. Grounded performances and scenes "as rich as the artist's f*ked up imaginations" as Naomi put it. Put it on your watch list.

I love a good psychological thriller but was a little apprehensive on how erotic it might get. I was pleasantly surprised to see how eroticism was conveyed, tastefully, and really moreso a tool for seduction and manipulation than an excuse to sell a movie through nudity. The performances were solid, the visuals striking, and it struck a chord that managed to hit dark comedy and tense thriller simultaneously. I like a good slow burn, and once the pressure's on, it doesn't stop until the lid's blown off. Highly recommend if you're into psychological thrillers. See more Rachel G @RachelGavin77 8h This is the best erotic thriller I’ve seen in a really long time. The performances are outstanding across the board and the film made me feel uncomfortable in the best possible way: tense, intrigued and completely absorbed from start to finish. It manages to be sexy without ever feeling gratuitous, which is rare for the genre. Every moment felt intentional, atmospheric and artistically crafted. It had everything I want in a film: suspense, emotional depth and a bold, captivating tone that kept me excited the entire time. Truly a beautiful piece of art! See more Jennifer S @Jsto560 1d Bight completely flipped my expectations. Mark Hapka starts off radiating arrogance and control, and you assume you understand the power dynamic right away. But by the end, everything you labeled as "strength" and "weakness" has shifted. The characters almost merge, and the confidence you trusted unravels in a way that’s both unsettling and brilliant. What I loved most was that slow psychological reversal. It made me question how quickly we judge power. Hapka’s performance is controlled and layered, and the transformation feels earned. Wild. Impressive. It stayed with me. See more Tanya G @Tanya163 1d This isn’t a genre I would normally watch but Bight was recommended to me by a friend. The tension between Charlie and Atticus, who I found to be relatable characters, was a good set up for what was to come. Later, when one felt suffocated and the other drowning, I thought how many of us felt the same at times in a relationship. They’d already overstepped some boundaries, and egged on by manipulators, got sucked into a whirlwind of bad choices. There are layers of issues surrounding control, consent, and boundaries being questioned or ignored that seemed true to life, even when carried to an extreme in the film. There was a cathartic element but it landed as more thought provoking than emotionally satisfying. See more Jimmy M @Jimmy247 2d The basics were solid: script, ensemble cast, pace, soundtrack. What hit me though was that it was as much (or more) of a psychological thriller as erotic. The manipulator (Sebastian) claims to want to blow past boundaries yet can't deal with the loss of his control except in the most extreme manner. In one memorable scene, he prattles on about his worldliness, the merits of perfectionism, etc., with the aura of a Zen master disciplining his disciples. The others feel blocked from eating until he gives the signal. The theme of control and boundaries made me reflect on the many hidden assumptions we all carry in our social relationships, and how they can explode when thrust into the open. Yet there was a degree of redemption that made the discomfort digestible. Expect more than your typical thriller. See more Read all reviews
