Bethany
Claire and her husband find themselves moving back into Claire's childhood home only to have the abusive and traumatic memories of her mother come back to haunt her. As her husband starts to get more work, Claire finds herself mixed up in a fog of past and present with a mysterious figure haunting her memories. What is this small figure that is trying to reach out to her, and what does it want?
Why it matters
A psychological haunt rooted in childhood trauma that blurs the line between memory and malevolence.
- James Cullen Bressack’s glossy style leans into a foggy, unsettling atmosphere rather than traditional scares.
- The mysterious small figure taps into folk and psychological horror tropes, adding an eerie layer to domestic dread.
- Heavy on mood and past trauma, this is for fans of slow-burn hauntings, not jump-scare junkies.
- Uneven pacing and narrative clarity may frustrate some, but the film’s ambition to explore memory’s dark corners rewards patient viewers.
