REVIEWS
"It feels like a classic episode of The Twilight Zone. Clocking in at just 28 minutes it’s easily digestible with a strange “elseworld” premise that hinges on political and social anxiety and aggression."
@fledgling_filmreview
"Overall, the presentation is good. It’s mostly well lit and well shot. The performances are some of the best I’ve ever seen in a low budget venture..."

"For under a half hour, Psychasthenia packs plenty of political punch. It’s a solid premise for a short story and doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s never too on the nose and keeps a generally middle of the road point of view on such a divisive subject."
