Pollen
After a senior coworker assaults a bright-eyed young woman, her dream job becomes a living nightmare as she tries to keep her career together while being tormented at work, at home, and in her dreams by a mysterious tree monster.
Why it matters
A grim fusion of workplace horror and folk-inspired body horror that roots systemic abuse in the soil of nightmare.
- Twists the corporate thriller into something primal with a monstrous arboreal antagonist that feeds on trauma.
- Practical effects bring the tree monster’s creeping menace to unsettling, tactile life.
- For fans of folk horror and social allegory alike—think The Babadook meets The Lodge at the office cubicle.
- Uneasy atmosphere blurs the lines between psychological torment and supernatural vengeance, making every shadow feel loaded.
