The Healing

The Healing (2022) is a Russian-Slovenian horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Denis Kryuchkov. Lyuba's marriage has become a trap she can't find her way out of. Her friends persuade her to join a retreat in the Russian countryside — shamans, isolation rituals, no phone signal.

The idea is to face your fears head-on. Lyuba's fears turn out to be harder to confront than she bargained for. Alena Mitroshina, one of Russia's most prominent bloggers, makes her feature film debut in the lead role. The film opens on a Nietzsche quote for a reason: the abyss here is not metaphorical.
