Synopsis
The Burning Girls (2023) is a British supernatural thriller you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from C.J. Tudor's novel by directors Charles Martin and Kieron Hawkes. It follows a vicar into a village that has been hiding something for five centuries.
Reverend Jack Brooks — played by Samantha Morton — takes a new posting in Chapel Croft, bringing her teenage daughter along (Ruby Stokes). The village has history: two girls burned as martyrs in the 1500s, two schoolchildren who vanished without explanation thirty years ago, and a predecessor who died inside the church itself. The locals speak of apparitions they call the burning girls and make clear that outsiders aren't welcome to ask questions.
Samantha Morton carries the series almost on stillness alone; she doesn't need to raise her voice to make you feel the threat closing in. This is a slow-burn character piece dressed in gothic clothes — the mystery is satisfying, but Morton is the real reason to stay. Stream The Burning Girls (2023) online on iFILM.
