Nobody's Home

Nobody's Home (2024) is an American psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM — Michelle Bossy's debut feature about love that slowly hardens into captivity.

Theodora and Luca meet as patients in the same institution and cling to each other. When Luca is discharged, she runs off with him, terrified that life on the outside will loosen his need for her. So she keeps him close the only way she knows: reopening old wounds and quietly destabilising him. The two end up at his childhood home, and then a stranger knocks. One long night of games, lies and shifting loyalties takes over.

Barely eighty-three minutes, two leads and almost a single location — Bossy builds dread out of confinement and things left unsaid rather than gore. Louisa Erlich makes her manipulator oddly sympathetic, which unsettles more than any twist. The mood slides between black comedy and drama, so good luck guessing where it lands.
