In the bleak, autumnal atmosphere of 1990s Poland, a young woman named Maria struggles with schizophrenia and substance abuse, her mind haunted by fiery fantasies that threaten to consume her. When a medical student sends her to a senior doctor, she finds herself dismissed with a shrug—”it’s natural to feel a little depressed at this time of year”—her pleas for help falling on deaf ears. As the season turns darker, Maria’s grip on reality frays, and the line between her visions and the world around her blurs. A chilling psychological descent into madness, ‘Listopad’ weaves a haunting tale of neglect, obsession, and the flames that rage within.
User Reviews
VioletVisions – 8/10
“This film got under my skin. The atmosphere is so thick you can almost smell the burning. Maria's descent into madness felt terrifyingly real, and the way the doctor dismisses her is chilling. Not for everyone, but a hidden gem for fans of slow-burn psychological horror.”
CinephileCarla – 7/10
“A brooding, moody piece that relies more on atmosphere than jump scares. The fire imagery is striking and the lead actress gives a raw performance. The pacing dragged a bit for me, but the finale left me thinking about it for days.”
GhoulFriend – 6/10
“I appreciate what it was trying to do, but it felt a bit too artsy for my taste. The schizophrenia angle was interesting, but I wish it had delved deeper into the horror of it all. Still, there are some genuinely unsettling moments that stick with you.”
PolishReject – 8/10
“As someone who's seen a fair share of European horror, this one stands out. It's bleak, haunting, and the social commentary on mental health care is jarring. The final shot is burned into my memory. Highly recommend for those who like their horror with a side of existential dread.”
