This is a quality low budget crime horror. Not a lot of room for special effects due to the budget but the film itself looks great with a decent atmosphere and some effective ways in generating suspense and tension. It takes these interesting ideas and molds them into a beautiful film that engages you with everything it’s trying to say. A lot of minimalistic aspects to this from the score, to writing, to cinematography, and everything but all are executed extremely well with much depth. The black and white photography works really well for the story and I thought the lead's performance was fantastic.

This movie is excellent. Watching it on a whim on Shudder, I felt myself experiencing the full range of what cinema has to offer. It'#39;s easy to compare _Empathy, Inc._ to the work of Terry Gilliam or even Christopher Nolan, and it ultimately falls a little short. But falling just short of those two titans puts the film far ahead of the vast majority. There'#39;s great attention to the frame, tight camera work, a great narrative, and _vision_. I can'#39;t recommend this film enough.
