Nina Forever
Rob is grief-stricken following the death of his girlfriend Nina, but after a failed suicide attempt he begins to move on from the tragedy and falls for his colleague Holly. Holly loves Rob and tries to help him through his grief – even if it means contending with Nina, who comes back from the dead, bloody and broken, every time they make love.
Why it matters
A darkly original fusion of grief-haunted romance and visceral supernatural horror that refuses tidy resolutions.
- Subverts the ghost story trope with brutal honesty about trauma's lingering grip and intimacy’s fragility.
- Fiona O’Shaughnessy’s Nina is a chilling, bloody presence—equal parts tragic and grotesque, anchored by practical gore effects.
- Balances black comedy with unsettling mood, carving out a niche between folk horror and psychological body horror.
- Perfect for fans of genre-benders like *The Invitation* or *Raw* who crave horror that probes emotional wreckage as much as physical.
