Clinger
When her possessive high school boyfriend dies in a gruesome accident, Fern Petersen's life is thrown into turmoil. Things go from bad to worse when he returns as a love-sick ghost to kill her so they can be together for eternity.
Why it matters
A quirky blend of teen slasher and supernatural stalker thriller that plays with possession and toxic obsession in a small-town high school setting.
- Jennifer Laporte’s grounded lead performance anchors the film’s uneven script and elevates the material beyond typical teen horror tropes.
- Practical effects and inventive kills lean into the ’80s and ’90s supernatural slasher traditions, offering a nostalgic vibe for genre buffs.
- Fans of possessive ghost stories and darkly comedic horror will appreciate its mix of gory set pieces with offbeat humor.
- Not flawless—some supporting performances and pacing drag—but it’s a worthwhile one-off for viewers craving a low-key, blood-soaked cautionary tale about love gone wrong.
