Shelley (2016)

Shelley: Directed by Ali Abbasi. With Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Cosmina Stratan, Peter Christoffersen, Björn Andrésen. Louise and Kasper want to become parents but Louise is unable to have children. She seals a pact with her Romanian maid, Elena, to bear Louise’s child, but things don’t turn out as they planned.

“This is the kind of slow-burn horror film that really, truly gets under your skin. the type of horror film that America doesnu0026#39;t make (although the last two years that has been changing, with flicks like The Babadook, It Follows, and The Witch). This wonu0026#39;t be for every horror fan, especially those that want more craziness or loud jump scares. Instead, what the film does is establish its characters very well and from then on it lurks and creeps you out until you become more and more terrified by whatu0026#39;s happening on screen. Itu0026#39;s exactly the type of film that really lingers on the mind and I really hope more people seek it out.”
