May, a self help author with all the answers, suddenly finds herself stalked by a masked man who mysteriously reappears every night. Even when she kills him. May struggles to get help from the people around her as she fights to stay alive. Is this paranoia, or is she doomed to accept her new reality?

Why it matters

A psychological cat-and-mouse game that blurs the line between trauma and terror, digging deep into isolation and paranoia with a minimalist, mood-driven approach.

  • Elisabeth Harnois anchors the film with a quietly intense performance that sells every moment of creeping dread.
  • Practical, low-fi suspense that recalls indie slow-burns more than jump-scare-heavy stalker flicks.
  • Explores the terror of being disbelieved—a nightmare scenario that resonates in both horror and real life.
  • For fans of character-driven psychological horror where atmosphere and ambiguity carry the weight.
