Anguish

Anguish (2015) is a psychological horror film from director Sonny Mallhi you can watch online on iFILM. Teenager Tess has spent years with a diagnosis no doctor can quite pin down.

Her mother Jessica moves them to a quiet town hoping a fresh start will help. It doesn't. Tess comes across a roadside shrine for Lucy, a girl killed in a hit-and-run, and the hallucinations take over — voices, memories that aren't hers, the sense that someone else is sharing her body. Is it psychosis or possession? The line dissolves, and mother and daughter bounce between doctors, faith, and Lucy's grieving mother in search of any way out.

Mallhi works in a quiet register, trading jump scares for dread and doubt. Ryan Simpkins anchors it with a restrained turn as Tess. This one's for viewers who like horror where the fear comes from not being able to trust the main character's own eyes. Stream Anguish (2015) online on iFILM.
