“Atrophy swept through the genre fest circuit alongside films with a much more classic approach to horror. Carving out its own lane, the film is a psychological terror born from the fear of experiencing atrophy, the film’s very namesake. Starring Irene Tsu, who gives a powerhouse performance alongside Bert Matias, it’s no wonder why it has snagged so many Best Performance awards throughout its festival run. An introspective and often weirdly absurd exploration of coping and caregiving, Atrophy will deeply move you.” - Chelsea Lupkin, Short of the Week
