New Showbiz Analysis

Reaction Time functions as a traditional horror/thriller film, focusing on atmospheric tension and survivalist themes. The narrative centers on a family trapped by an unnatural fog, keeping the scope narrow and localized. The film does not intentionally disrupt social hierarchies or include diverse identities. Instead, it adheres to established horror and thriller conventions without exploring progressive social themes. By centering on a standard family unit in isolation, the film reinforces conventional social structures rather than challenging them.

Official Synopsis

A family confined to a villa in which they live. Outside an unnatural fog that burns people that enter in contact with it. No possibility for communication with the outside, only a hypothesis about a possible cause of the phenomenon. In complete isolation, in lack of supplies, a sound of a glass breaking. Despite the thick fog outside, someone entered the villa. Maybe not everybody die in the fog...
