Entrance

2012 ·1h 23m · ★ 3.7 (16)

A barista, who lives a repetitive and anxious life in Los Angeles, believes that she is being watched. When her beloved dog disappears, she decides to give up and move back home, but first she invites all her friends to a going-away party - little do they know what she has planned for them.

Why it matters

A slow-burning psychological horror that turns mundane urban dread into a creeping nightmare of surveillance and social unraveling.

  • A masterclass in minimalist tension, where everyday anxieties become the monster under the bed.
  • Captures the claustrophobia of modern LA life with an unsettling, almost hypnotic pacing.
  • For fans of paranoid, character-driven horror that prioritizes mood over gore — think early David Lynch crossed with mumblecore unease.
  • Practical, intimate camerawork and a quietly intense lead performance anchor the film’s growing sense of dread.
