Behind the Trees
While on a romantic getaway in the Indian wilderness, a couple from Los Angeles accidentally witnesses the haunting exorcism of an 11-year old girl. They decide to rescue her.
Why it matters
A tense folk horror thriller that mines cultural clashes and unseen terrors in the Indian wilderness.
- Immerses you in atmospheric isolation, blending natural beauty with creeping dread.
- Explores exorcism through a cross-cultural lens, adding fresh spiritual complexity to possession tropes.
- Strong performances ground the supernatural in raw human fear and moral uncertainty.
- For fans of slow-burn horror that favors mood and myth over cheap scares—think a spiritual cousin to The Witch set in South Asia.
