Darlin'

Darlin' (2019) is a horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM. It marks the directing debut of actress Pollyanna McIntosh and picks up directly where the cult shocker The Woman left off.

A feral teenage girl turns up in a hospital parking lot — filthy, silent, half-wild. Cleaned up, she's handed to a Catholic care home ruled by a Bishop with an iron grip. He sees the "savage" as the perfect PR miracle: scrub her, baptize her, parade a healed soul in front of the press. But Darlin' is hiding something far darker than the sins they pin on her, and she didn't come alone. The Woman who raised her, just as fierce, stalks the edges of the story and will let nothing stand in her way. Lauryn Canny plays Darlin', with Bryan Batt as the Bishop.

McIntosh builds a savage parable about the female body, hypocrisy and cruelty dressed up as care — bloody, bleak and pointedly feminist. It's for viewers who want horror with an argument, not just jump scares. Stream Darlin' (2019) online on iFILM.
