2018 ·37m · ★ 5.5 (46)

An abandoned seaside resort. The shooting for a fantasy film about the end of an era wraps up. Two women, both members of the film crew, one an actrice, the other a director, Apocalypse and Joy, are on the verge of concluding their love affair.

Why it matters

A languid, atmospheric dive into love and endings set against a decaying seaside resort that blurs fantasy and reality.

  • Slow-burn mood piece with a dreamy, almost hypnotic visual style that evokes post-apocalyptic isolation without the usual blood and gore.
  • Focuses on intimate character dynamics—two women navigating the fragile edges of love and creative ambition—which gives it a rare, queer indie horror sensibility.
  • Fans of folk and art-house horror will appreciate its quiet tension and poetic ambiguity over conventional scares.
  • Not for jump-scare junkies or those craving a traditional narrative payoff, but a rewarding watch if you savor horror as elegy and atmosphere.
