Pure
Teen girls perform a secret ritual at a Purity Retreat and, when one of them begins to see a supernatural entity, the terrifying question becomes what is more dangerous: the demon they’ve unleashed, or the pressure of their controlling fathers.
Why it matters
A tense, atmospheric dive into female adolescence caught between supernatural terror and patriarchal control.
- A fresh blend of folk horror and psychological thriller rooted in real-world gender anxiety.
- Minimalist, ritual-driven storytelling that lets dread creep in slowly and uncomfortably.
- Perfect for fans of slow-burn occult horror with a feminist edge—think early Jennifer Kent or Ana Lily Amirpour.
- Practical effects and sparse sound design amplify the feeling of claustrophobic unease.
- Not for those craving conventional scares, but a rewarding puzzle for viewers who savor subtext and mood over jump scares.
