BEHEMOTH

Cinemavixion Review

In "Behemoth," director Peter Szewczyk crafts a chilling psychological thriller that delves into the dark underbelly of corporate malfeasance and its devastating personal toll. Josh Eisenberg delivers a compelling performance as Josh Riverton, a man driven to desperate measures when his daughter falls ill, suspecting his former employer, a chemical behemoth, is responsible. The narrative masterfully blurs the lines between reality and delusion as Josh confronts his ex-boss, Woeland, played with unsettling ambiguity by Paul Statman. The film excels in its tense atmosphere, drawing viewers into Josh's unraveling psyche, amplified by the claustrophobic setting and the gnawing uncertainty of whether the true horror lies within the corporation or within Josh's own mind. While the film's 20% Rotten Tomatoes score suggests a divisive reception, its exploration of themes like environmental responsibility and the corrupting influence of power makes it a thought-provoking, albeit grim, cinematic experience.
