The Swerve is a character study of a school teacher named Holly who is battling with insomnia, depression and psychosis, we follow her deteriorating mental state as she plummets into insanity.
The lead Azura Skye, who plays the lead carries the film,
her very appearance reflects her characters internal state,
she's emaciated and dead behind the eyes, joyless and broken.
In terms of plot we are really just watching a person gradually decay, I won't give away the ending but in my opinion its horrifying enough to be considered an extremely disturbing film and its one that I've never seen mentioned, probably because it's not graphically violent, The Swerve is disturbing because of how soul destroying and realistic it is and due to that I certainly won't be watching it again, but for that reason alone it has stayed with me enough to earn my respect.
