Recovery
The night before their high school graduation, Jessie and her friends are guided by a 'Find My iPhone' app to recover her lost device from a house whose demented tenants are hell bent on making her a flesh and blood member of the family.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic blend of teen dread and home invasion horror that traps innocence in a house of escalating nightmare.
- Practical effects amplify the body horror as Jessie’s ordeal twists from tense to gruesome.
- The ‘Find My iPhone’ premise modernizes the classic “trapped in a stranger’s house” trope with tech paranoia.
- Perfect for fans of late-night, low-budget terror with a gritty, visceral edge reminiscent of early Ti West or Adam Wingard.
- Not a polished studio thriller—rough edges and pacing stumbles add to the raw, unsettling atmosphere.
