Featured reviews
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.

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.

I recommend but with a warning. It's heavy. It deals with mental health, loss, control, and how easy it is to fall into something dangerous when you're not okay. If you're in the right headspace and enjoy psychological thrillers that lean more into character and emotion than plot twists, it's definitely worth your time.
Just finished this and wow it's one of those quiet, heavy films that sits in your chest. Slow, unsettling, emotionally raw. Not scary in the traditional sense, but it messes with your head in a very real, human way. If you've ever felt lost or numb, this hits hard. Definitely not for everyone, but if you like that kind of emotional weight... worth it.
I'm still sitting with everything it made me feel. It's one of those slow-burning, unsettling films that doesn't go where you think it will in a good way.
The movie follows this guy, Travis, a psychiatrist who's clearly dealing with some serious internal turmoil. He's depressed, kind of numb to the world, and not really coping with the weight of his work or personal life. Then he meets Grace this quiet, strange young woman and through her, ends up in a secluded cult-like community led by a guy named Father Jay.
At first, it seems like they might be helping him. The place is remote, strict, almost military-like, but there's a sense of belonging there that Travis is drawn to. That's where the movie gets really interesting it starts challenging you to think about what people are willing to believe in when they're desperate for purpose or healing.
The performances are what really make this film stick. Mark Leonard Winter, who plays Travis, does a brilliant job of showing someone completely unraveling, while still trying to hold it together. Tilda Cobham-Hervey as Grace is just... haunting. There's so much pain behind her eyes, but she also carries this strange sense of calm that keeps you guessing. And Steve Le Marquand as Father Jay terrifyingly charismatic. You can see exactly why people would follow him, even when things start to feel off.
It's not a flashy film it's quiet, tense, and moody. A lot of grey tones, empty spaces, minimal soundtrack. It builds atmosphere more than action, but that worked for me. It felt real, raw, and honestly a bit uncomfortable at times which I think was the point.
