Pelican Blood
Pelikanblut
Wiebke, a professional horse trainer, faces a unique challenge when she adopts Raya, a five-year-old girl, who is prone to violent outbursts because of her traumatic past.
Why it matters
A psychological horror that probes the fragile, often brutal bond between caregiver and child, using trauma as a haunting undercurrent.
- Unsettling portrait of motherhood twisted by fear and helplessness—this isn’t your typical haunted house.
- Delivers tense, intimate dread through naturalistic performances, especially from lead Flora Thiemann.
- For fans of slow-burning, character-driven horror that leans into emotional ambiguity rather than jump scares.
- Blends domestic drama with a creeping sense of menace, echoing the slow horror mood of films like *The Babadook* or *Hereditary.*
