The nightmare world of a virgin's dreams becomes the screen's shocking reality!

DramaThrillerHorror

Beautiful young manicurist Carole suffers from androphobia (the pathological fear of interaction with men). When her sister and roommate, Helen, leaves their London flat to go on an Italian holiday with her married boyfriend, Carole withdraws into her apartment. She begins to experience frightful hallucinations, her fear gradually mutating into madness.

VIBE

A chilling descent into a fractured mind, this film is a masterclass in psychological dread. It feels like a suffocating nightmare, where the mundane transforms into the terrifying, and the walls themselves seem to close in. An intensely unsettling, isolating experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
