Leaves an impression
A quiet and unsettling psychological drama that looks at how guilt and loneliness can push people toward dangerous places. The story follows a young psychiatrist who's clearly struggling after a personal loss. When he meets a mysterious woman who introduces him to a small, isolated community, he's drawn into their world, hoping to find peace or forgiveness. What starts as a chance to heal slowly turns into something much darker.
The film moves at a calm, deliberate pace, but that slow build works. It's more about mood and emotion than action, and the tension comes from watching how easily control and faith can blur together. The performances feel genuine and grounded, especially from the two leads, who carry a quiet sadness that lingers. The dry, sun-bleached landscape adds to the sense of isolation, matching the emptiness inside the characters.

Can't believe he ever lived.
The film opens with a very interesting story. It's mysterious, lonely, and full of questions about faith and emotional pain and boldly explores the mind, hopelessness, and religion without preaching morality. Instead, it asks, "How do we survive when everything in our lives falls apart?"
I like the picture is very beautiful. Every frame looks like it was composed like an art film.

Explores the fragile
One Eyed Girl is a slow-burn thriller that rewards patient viewers with a haunting psychological exploration of loss, vulnerability, and the search for meaning. It's not always easy to watch, but it lingers long after the credits roll.
Highly recommended for fans of character-driven thrillers with a psychological and philosophical edge.

It is heavy
One Eyed Girl is not an easy film to watch. It is heavy, uncomfortable, and at times distressingly real in its portrayal of trauma and emotional manipulation. But it is also a film of great sensitivity, psychological depth, and moral complexity. It asks hard questions about mental health, belief systems, and the longing for redemption in a fractured world.
While it won't appeal to audiences looking for action or traditional horror, those interested in psychological character studies and understated cult dramas will find a lot to appreciate. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll, not because of any shocking twist, but because it dares to sit in the quiet, painful spaces most stories avoid.

Human fragility
When you actually watch it, it's much darker than you'd think, and it doesn't sell you with dramatic suspense. It slowly immerses you in the mind of someone who's "broken."
The story begins with "Travis," a young psychiatrist who's burned out after the loss of a patient. He feels like he's lost in life. One day, he meets "Grace," a young woman who invites him to join a group that appears to be a support group for those struggling with life, but is actually a cult led by an eccentric leader named "Feather Jay."
After a while, we begin to wonder who's truly "crazy" the cultists or Travis, who's slowly slipping away. The film uses a gradual narrative that builds emotion, as if we're trapped in a dark room with these people, and we gradually realize that each of them has their own scars.
Did you know
- TriviaThe use of The Humming chorus from Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini is a reference to Jennifer 8 that utilized the same track. The 90s Bruce Robinson thriller is a favorite of co-writers Nick Remy Matthews and Craig Behenna.
