Black Flies is an intense movie that takes the audience on a haunting journey into the dark underbelly of humanity. Directed Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, this psychological thriller explores the harrowing experiences of a young paramedic, played brilliantly by the talented lead actor, Tye Sheridan. The film delves deep into the emotional and psychological toll of working in a challenging urban environment, with its unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities faced by first responders.
Sauvaire’s masterful direction brings an eerie atmosphere to the screen, creating a sense of claustrophobia and unease that lingers long after the credits roll. The film’s cinematography and sound design contribute to the overall sense of unease, perfectly complementing the narrative.
While “Black Flies” is undeniably dark and unsettling, it serves as a powerful exploration of human resilience and the complexities of the human condition.

Overall, Black Flies was a phenomenal film that left the audience teary-eyed. Tye Sheridan announced to the audience after the screening that this had been an ongoing project for over 5 years. The dedication to this project is evident while watching from the incredible acting, editing, and overall emotions felt in the film.
