This Candy-Colored, Trippy Horror Movie Starts Innocently — But Will Choke the Life Out of You by the End

The loss of innocence is a universal experience, which is what makes the concept so terrifyingly visceral. These are the moments when people learn just how dark the 'real world' can be, when the rosy veneer of childhood is broken and individuals realize they'll never be able to think in such a carefree way again.Many films try to portray this, but few do it as mind-bendingly well as Mitzi Peirone'sBraid on Tubi. Following a pair of criminals who retreat to the home of their old friend, the film sees this trio take part in a twisted game of 'House'; they follow a strict set of imaginary rules that turns their youthful game into a horrific acting exercise.
