An aging film star retreats to the Scottish countryside with her nurse to recover from surgery. While there, mysterious forces of revenge emerge from the land where witches were burned.

Critics Consensus

More unsettling than truly scary, She Will casts a thoughtful, hypnotic spell made even stronger by its restrained approach and some strong performances.

It might not chill you to the core, but it’s ripe and entertaining.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Marries the spiralling, self-reflexive narrative of Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House with echoes of the off-kilter visual sensibility of the 1962 cult oddity Carnival of Souls.

Rated: 4/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This is a very powerful film -- not so much good as disquieting and effective.

Lee Zumpe

Tampa Bay Newspapers

In Ghent, Colbert explores how trauma distorts both the passage of time and reality itself, and how perspective and purpose are ultimately constructs that can — over a lifetime — evolve or evaporate.

She Will is an elegant debut from Colbert, who manifests different gothic horror elements within the narrative and cinematography.

not quite sure what was going on there. maybe im not smart enough to interpret the subtle plot development. i think it was about healing properties of hallowed ground due to witches killed centuries before.

Solid cast, intelligent writing, great cinematography and scenery/setting, positivity dripping (sometimes literally) with an atmosphere of nebulous dread. And yet I couldn’t help but feel like the film didn’t quite deliver on its promise of dark and vague foreboding in the woods, with its dreadful history of witch burnings. The progression of the relationship between the two female leads was poignant and handled well, but the eventual revelation of what amounted to a revenge tale was a bit disappointing. Still, this film has much to recommend it. I was reminded of the strange and unsettling stories of Robert Aickman, particularly in the movie’s early scenes.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It re-summons the 70s psychology with less visceral shock but eased unsettlingly whilst reasoning with the timely given thematic material as it creeps ominously to little, decently average impressive effect, powered by fine performative participations in one degree of inadvertent spiritual continuation.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie SUCKS. So boring, if you like watching a product of feminist maturbation with not even a hint of creativity then watch this otherwise ignore the less than intelligent nipples who gave this 85 percent.
