"The Nest" is a horror film that incorporates classic genre elements such as an isolated setting—Villa dei Laghi, a manor surrounded by woods—which creates a claustrophobic and eerie atmosphere essential for building suspense. The protagonist, Samuel, a boy feeling trapped and restless within his family life, introduces themes of psychological unease and internal conflict common in horror narratives. What sets "The Nest" apart from other horror titles is its focus on the subtle dynamics of family life and the emotional struggles of growing up, blending psychological horror with a slow-building tension rather than relying solely on jump scares or supernatural elements. This approach provides a more introspective and character-driven experience within the horror genre.
