A student becomes a recluse in response to her best friend's suicide and locks herself in her room. She believes that someone is in the room with her. Her alarmed family hires a psychologist to intervene.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic dive into grief and paranoia that twists psychological horror into a suffocating chamber piece.

  • A raw portrait of isolation that taps into the terror of mental unraveling, not just external threats.
  • Low-key, intimate setting amplifies every creak and shadow, making the room itself a character.
  • For fans of minimalist psychological horror like *Repulsion* or *The Pact*, where what’s unseen is far deadlier.
  • Not for those craving gore or action — this one’s all about atmosphere and slow-burning dread.
