Jimmy M @Jimmy247 6h The basics were solid: script, ensemble cast, pace, soundtrack. What hit me though was that it was as much (or more) of a psychological thriller as erotic. The manipulator (Sebastian) claims to want to blow past boundaries yet can't deal with the loss of his control except in the most extreme manner. In one memorable scene, he prattles on about his worldliness, the merits of perfectionism, etc., with the aura of a Zen master disciplining his disciples. The others feel blocked from eating until he gives the signal. The theme of control and boundaries made me reflect on the many hidden assumptions we all carry in our social relationships, and how they can explode when thrust into the open. Yet there was a degree of redemption that made the discomfort digestible. Expect more than your typical thriller. See more G S @nokil0 12h A lot of thrillers rely on jump scares or big twists. Bight doesn’t. The tension comes from quiet moments. Long pauses. Looks between characters. Things that feel slightly "off." There were multiple scenes where nothing huge was happening, but I still felt anxious because of how it was shot and paced. It’s more about atmosphere than action — and that works in its favor. When big moments do happen, they feel earned. Nothing feels forced or random. The story unfolds naturally, and that makes it more believable. All in all, this is definitely worth a watch. See more Meg T. @MegsTrev 16h BIGHT is unsettling in the way a good psychological thriller should be. From the opening moments, you’re dropped into overstimulating sounds and overlapping conversations that immediately put you on edge. It signals early on that this story is going to get messy. Messy in the unraveling of a relationship, messy in the dread that quietly builds through the score, and messy in the sense that whatever lies ahead won’t resolve neatly. What’s surprising is how funny the film can be at first. There’s a disarming comedic thread throughout the early scenes that makes the characters feel lived-in and human. That ease only deepens the tension once the story turns, making the emotional fallout hit harder. Largely contained within an artist-loft apartment, the film creates a kind of pressure cooker. There’s nowhere to hide, not from each other and certainly not from the complicated dynamics between these two couples, whose lives are intertwined in more ways than one. The intimacy of the setting amplifies every glance, every silence, every shift in power. Without giving away its central revelation, BIGHT explores themes of infidelity, open relationships, revenge, and consent with a clear, unflinching lens. It’s the kind of film that lingers, not because it shocks for the sake of it, but because it’s willing to sit in discomfort. If you’re drawn to thrillers, particularly erotic psychological dramas that prioritize mood and tension over tidy resolutions, BIGHT is worth your time. It’s not clean. It’s not easy. And that’s exactly the point. See more Shannon T @ShannonTodora 17h If you’re into smart, character-driven thrillers that rely on atmosphere instead of cheap tricks, this one is absolutely worth your time. It stuck with me long after it ended, and that’s always the sign of a good one. Sebastian's character isn’t just written as "good" or "bad". He’s layered and complicated, which makes the psychological tension hit even harder. You’re not just watching events happen, you’re watching someone slowly fracture. It never feels forced or overdone. It feels real… and that’s what makes it unsettling. See more Jen O @JenOliver 1d Bight is the kind of psychological thriller that doesn’t just unsettle you — it lingers. It’s riveting from the first frame, the sort of film where you realize halfway through that you haven’t looked away once. The tension isn’t cheap or manufactured; it builds patiently, pulling you deeper while quietly raising questions about art, freedom, and the fragility of the human psyche. The score is a standout — propulsive, immersive, and emotionally precise. It works in tandem with the cinematography, which is patient and unsettling in its framing, often lingering just long enough to make you uncomfortable. Together, the visuals and music heighten the psychological tension without ever feeling manipulative. The result is a raw, modern edge that feels urgent and original, drawing you deeper into the film’s fractured emotional landscape. Bight isn’t just a thriller — it’s an experience. The kind that grips you in the theater and follows you home. See more Angelo P. @Darksev92 1d “Bight” is a seductive slow paced erotic thriller that has interesting concept and plot and tells a story about love, BDSM, betrayal and hurt. Plus Mark Hapka is the showrunner in this one as his character Sebastian is quite devilish with his charm and brutal with his actions towards his friends. He is a true monster of his own making in this film. “Bight” follows a two couples who a year ago decided to have a swing session and when the romance was supposed ended, it didn’t. A year later one of the men involved in the affair Sebastian (Mark Hapka) an his wife invites the other couple to dinner and they discuss being apart of Sebastian’s new photography piece which involves bondage and BDSM. As the photography session begins, Sebastian soon reveals more sinister intentions with his friends. As the film tells a story of betrayal, lust and interpersonal relationships. So if you are looking for a different erotic thriller that is part “Fifty Shades of Grey” and part “Fatal Attraction”, definitely give “Bight” a watch. See more Read all reviews
