If you're in the mood for a claustrophobic supernatural thriller with genuine atmosphere and an original premise, The Vigil delivers. It's a smart, tense indie horror that uses cultural specificity and confined spaces to ramp up the dread—skip it only if you need jump scares instead of slow-burn creeping terror.

Plot

A man providing overnight watch to a deceased member of his former Orthodox Jewish community finds himself opposite a malevolent entity.

Director: Keith Thomas

Cast: Dave Davis, Lynn Cohen, Menashe Lustig, Malky Goldman, Fred Melamed
