THE SPIRAL is an incredibly well-directed psychological thriller from Paolo Strippoli that should serve as a calling card for him with Hollywood offers to come. There’s so much creativity in the camerawork, editing, and sound design, led by a dark, powerful performance from Jasmine Trinca. What begins as ominous and mysterious gradually becomes more predictable and tedious as we approach the endgame, but Strippoli’s vision kept me engaged throughout. A terrifying nightmare about the lengths we’ll go to protect the ones we love, the value we place on human life, and the horrifying inevitability that terrible things will happen to us whether we want them to or are prepared for them or not.
