Absentia
Mike Flanagan directed Absentia, an independent supernatural horror film that marked Flanagan's feature film debut. The movie explores themes of grief, loss, and the unknown, blending psychological tension with eerie supernatural elements.
The story follows Tricia (played by Courtney Bell), a pregnant woman grappling with the disappearance of her husband, Daniel, who has been missing for seven years. As she prepares to declare him legally dead, her sister Callie (played by Katie Parker) moves in to support her. However, Callie becomes drawn to a mysterious tunnel near their home, which seems to be linked to a series of unexplained disappearances, including Daniel's. As the sisters uncover unsettling truths, they are forced to confront an ancient and malevolent force.
With its low-budget production and crowdfunding origins, Absentia relies on atmospheric storytelling and strong performances to deliver a chilling and thought-provoking experience. It’s a haunting exploration of the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.
