Logline: Lucy suffers from agoraphobia and OCD, spending her days in her apartment, pacing around the couch and earning money through apps that pay for steps taken. Her psychotherapist, who had previously worked with her online, finally visits for an in-person session. It seems like things are improving, and Lucy begins to feel less afraid of imagining a walk in the outside world. However, along with the light, something dark and hostile starts slipping into reality from her dreams.

Lucy is a brilliant example of psychological horror done right. Set in a single location, with only three lead actors and mind-blowing twists, it keeps viewers on edge. Even those familiar with the director’s work will find it hard to predict how this profoundly unsettling story will end. As for critics, Vinsent Mettel has woven enough clues and hints into the fabric of the film to uncover a bold and highly relevant message beneath the layers of striking horror elements.
