Synopsis

A woman finds herself trapped in a remote hotel where the violent echoes of her past come alive, blurring the lines between her darkest nightmares and the waking world.
Moviegoers are saying
This surreal psychological horror debut from Julie Pacino divides audiences with its Lynch-inspired fever dream about pregnancy, trauma, and bodily autonomy - while some praise its gorgeous cinematography and symbolic depth, others find it incoherent and overly pretentious. The film's dreamlike hotel setting and stellar performance by Lucy Fry create genuine creep factor, though reviewers consistently joke that Matt Rife's presence is the most horrifying element.

    The dreamlike psycho haze this film lingers in is often something that turns me off. But I realized while wandering its twisty halls that I was engaged... I didn't know what they hey was going on, but it was drawing me in. Its creep factor is legit regardless of whether it…

    student film vibes and not in a good way. the script feels written, the acting feels acted, the props feel like props. even the cinematography, which is often the best in these kind of projects, is uninspired and flat. most horrying thing in this horror film is matt rife‘s…

    Watched in 35mm at the Aero followed by a Q&A with Julie Pacino, Sheryl Lee, Lucy Fry, Sarah Rich and Laura Clear. Moderated by Finn Wittrock I honestly don’t even know how to rate this because of how personal this journey of healing felt. It was all shot on film and took…
