Horror, thriller, by Jason Figgis, United States, 2016.
Set in Ireland, the film tells the story of Isabel Mann, an introverted and lonely teenager who is drawn into a dark and seductive world of blood, violence, and vampirism. As the story unfolds, Isabel undergoes a disturbing transformation—from a vulnerable young girl to a ruthless creature—guided by a group of vampires who pull her into a spiral of murder and ritual. At the same time, a team of detectives attempts to shed light on a series of brutal killings that seem to be connected. However, their investigation leads them toward a truth far more unsettling than they could have anticipated.

The film stands out for its cold, disturbing atmosphere and a slow, reflective narrative that favors psychological depth over action. Vampirism here is not just a genre element, but takes on a symbolic meaning tied to adolescent alienation, the search for identity, and the longing to belong. *The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann* embraces an auteur style and carries the emotional intensity of Ellen Mullen’s lead performance. It’s a different kind of horror film—intimate and melancholic—capable of blending teenage tragedy with the vampire myth in a modern, introspective way.
