Absentia2017
Created by Matthew Cirulnick, Gaia Violo
The premise
A missing FBI agent reappears six years after being declared dead.
Horror Vault's take
When an FBI agent resurfaces after six years of being presumed dead, her return raises more questions than answers — and the nightmare may be far from over. Stripped of her former life and credibility, she must fight to uncover what really happened to her while the threat of a killer looms. Absentia is a slow-burn crime thriller that keeps its protagonist — and the audience — constantly off-balance, unsure of who to trust. Dark, twisting, and relentlessly tense, it rewards viewers who enjoy layered psychological suspense.
