The fear will find you

DramaThrillerHorror

Cordelia ia a troubled, damaged soul who is only just recovering after some unnamed trauma; she is an actor rehearsing a play and comes to stay in a creepy London mansion flat occupied by her twin sister Caroline and Caroline’s boyfriend Matt. When they leave her alone there Cordelia strikes up a friendship with Frank the charming, but strange and unreliable young man they can hear practising his cello in the upstairs flat – a relationship which quickly becomes very disturbing.

VIBE

A suffocating descent into paranoia. This film feels like a fever dream, where reality warps and trust erodes. It's a chilling, atmospheric slow-burn that lingers long after the credits roll.
