She Will

2022 ·1h 35m · ★ 4.8 (108)

Veronica, an aging film star, retreats to the Scottish countryside with her nurse Desi to recover from a double mastectomy. While there, mysterious forces give Veronica the power to enact revenge within her dreams.

Why it matters

A slow-burning folk horror steeped in gendered rage and surreal revenge, She Will channels the haunted Scottish moors as a backdrop for a dreamlike reckoning.

  • Alice Krige embodies a haunting, weary power that anchors the film’s atmospheric descent.
  • Practical effects and eerie visuals evoke a Lynchian mood more than outright scares—this is psychological dread over jump scares.
  • For fans of folk horror and female-led supernatural narratives grappling with trauma and empowerment.
  • Its pacing demands patience; not all mysteries resolve satisfyingly, but the evocative setting and themes linger.
