Cerebrum
After waking up from a year-long coma, an insecure young man must fight his controlling father in order to discover what really happened to his seemingly absent mother, as the true consequences of his past actions unravel before him. Richard is stuck in a limbo of denial and lost in the past, thinking that he can essentially reverse it and bring back the dead – with deadly consequences.
Why it matters
A psychological horror that probes grief and control through a surreal, mind-bending journey into memory and loss.
- Anchored by a raw, unsettling performance that captures the paralysis of trauma and obsession.
- Merges family drama with supernatural dread, blurring reality in ways that echo Lynch and Cronenberg.
- Practical and visual effects lean into unsettling body horror and distorted perception — a visceral, disorienting experience.
- For fans of cerebral horror that prioritizes atmosphere and emotional weight over cheap scares.
