Matriarch

Matriarch is a psychological horror film that incorporates elements typical of the genre, such as a protagonist grappling with personal trauma and the blurring of reality and supernatural menace. Common horror elements present include an isolated setting—a childhood home that holds dark secrets—and the unfolding of mysterious, eerie occurrences tied to a 'mysterious disease' and the presence of a 'real demon.' What makes Matriarch stand out among other horror titles is its focus on the intimate intersection of psychological struggle and supernatural horror, rather than relying solely on external scares. The film delves deeply into the protagonist's internal battles and emotional haunting, enhanced by strong performances from actors like Kate Dickie, contributing to a tense, unsettling atmosphere that resonates on a more personal and psychological level than typical genre fare.
