"Coherence" is a mind-bending psychological thriller that unfolds on the night of an astronomical anomaly, when eight friends gathered for a dinner party experience a series of reality-warping events.

The cast includes Hugo Armstrong as Hugh and Emily Baldoni as Em, who navigate through the complex web of shifting realities.
Trivia:
1. The film was largely improvised; the actors were given outlines rather than a detailed script to encourage natural reactions and dialogue, which contributes to the movie's authentic feel.
2. The entire movie was shot in just five nights, using the director's own house as the primary location, adding an intimate and claustrophobic atmosphere to the story.
3. The astronomical event central to the plot—an overlapping comet—is fictional but inspired by real celestial events to anchor the film's sci-fi premise in actual science.
