Quick Hit

Diary of a Madman works when the atmosphere feels bruised and intimate, even if the mechanics are thin. I can see the ache, not always the shape.

Full Take

What stays with me here isn’t the plot beat, it’s the emotional bruise underneath it. If the characters don’t pull you in, the style can only carry so much weight. The real damage comes from interior pressure, not just visible threat. The strongest scenes feel like panic curdling into self-destruction. That’s why it hurts in the right way and scores BAD.
