Demon
A bridegroom is possessed by an unquiet spirit in the midst of his own wedding celebration, in this clever take on the Jewish legend of the dybbuk.
Why it matters
A tense, atmospheric dive into Jewish folklore that blends intimate family drama with unsettling supernatural dread.
- Revives the dybbuk myth with fresh psychological complexity, avoiding cheap jump scares for lingering unease.
- Features crisp, naturalistic performances that ground the possession in real human conflict.
- Perfect for fans of folk horror who appreciate cultural specificity and slow-building dread over gore.
- Its claustrophobic wedding setting turns tradition into a crucible of ancient curses and modern anxieties.
