IMDb 6.8 Metacritic 75 RT 90%

Watch it. This is a genuinely unsettling psychological thriller with a 90% RT score and strong critical consensus—it's the kind of smart, atmospheric film that lingers after the credits roll. Elizabeth Olsen's performance as a trauma survivor is haunting, and the slow-burn dread will grip you way more than typical thriller fare.

Plot

After several years of living with a cult, Martha finally escapes and calls her estranged sister, Lucy, for help. Martha finds herself at the quiet Connecticut home Lucy shares with her new husband, Ted, but the memories of what she experienced in the cult make peace hard to find. As flashbacks continue to torment her, Martha fails to shake a terrible sense of dread, especially in regard to the cult's manipulative leader.
