Blog & StoriesThelma, a shy and devoutly religious student, finds her carefully ordered life unraveling when she develops intense feelings for her classmate Anja. As these forbidden desires surface, Thelma begins to experience terrifying episodes of psychokinetic power, manifestations of a repressed trauma that her strict upbringing has locked away. Haunted by seizures, unexplained occurrences, and a suffocating sense of dread, she is drawn into a confrontation with the dark secrets of her own mind. Joachim Trier’s slow-burning psychological horror crafts an atmosphere of quiet unease, where the real terror lies not in supernatural forces, but in the very real consequences of denial and the monstrous shape of suppressed truth. A visually stunning and deeply unsettling descent into the most hidden corners of the human psyche.

“This one takes its time, but if you let it, it really gets under your skin. The acting is superb, especially the lead, and the slow-burn atmosphere is perfect for a quiet Sunday night scare. Not for those who need jump scares every five minutes.”
“I appreciated what it was trying to do thematically, and the cinematography is gorgeous. But honestly, it felt more like a drama with a sprinkle of horror than a true horror flick. The final act saved it from a lower score for me.”
“The psychological angle is what hooked me. The way the film slowly unravels her reality is masterfully done, and the church upbringing vibe added a whole layer of creepiness. Definitely a gem if you're into eerie, thought-provoking horror.”
“I wanted to like this more, but it really dragged in the middle. The premise had so much potential, and while it wasn't bad, it just didn't deliver the chills I was expecting. The performances were okay, though.”
