Why watch?

The moment the main character realizes something fundamental is changing in her body is genuinely unsettling — it's not cheap jump scares, it's psychological horror that comes from inside. The film keeps tension tight for the full runtime without dragging, and Brendan Bradley and Rachel Cook play it as a couple who don't have time for typical horror movie dialogue — they're just trying to survive what's happening. The ending hits in a way you won't see coming from a mile away.

Who is it for?

If you want psychological horror for a dark evening and prefer creeping dread over jump scares, this is your watch. If you liked Hereditary or The Witch, you'll recognize the same paranoid atmosphere and sense of relentless threat. This is for adult viewers — there's violence, sexual content, and uncensored language, so not for kids.

If you liked how Succubus ratchets up tension through the protagonist's paranoia about what's real versus supernatural manipulation, check out The Ritual and Apostle — both do that same thing where the lead gets pulled into something incomprehensible and the threat comes partly from inside their own head. Goth is similarly unnerving in that claustrophobic way where every scene could go sideways.

Classic overview

A new father going through a marital separation joins a dating app and matches with a beautiful but mysterious young woman... whose powers of seduction and manipulation entangle him in a mystery more horrifying than he could have ever imagined.

AI Spotlight

Powered by Claude

A burned-out dad going through a rough divorce swipes right on a dating app looking for some kind of escape, but the match he gets back might be something that shouldn't exist. Director R.J. Daniel Hanna builds this thing like a slow-burn nightmare where every notification feels wrong, and Brendan Bradley carries the whole film as a guy whose life is already falling apart before things get genuinely terrifying. The movie treats the dating app like a portal instead of just an app, turning something mundane into something deeply unsettling. If you liked the claustrophobic dread of Hereditary or the domestic-horror vibe of Insidious, this scratches that same itch.
