The premise

Panic attacks and memory loss signal the plight of a writer whose body is inexplicably being taken over by another woman.

Horror Vault's take

A successful writer begins to unravel when panic attacks and disturbing gaps in her memory suggest something deeply wrong — not just with her mind, but with her very body. Slowly, disturbingly, her reflection and those around her seem to belong to a different woman entirely. French director Marina de Van crafts a hypnotic, skin-crawling study in identity horror that blurs the line between psychological breakdown and something far more sinister. Fans of European arthouse horror will find this one lingers long after the credits roll.
