Horror Vault's take

When a sheltered Norwegian student begins suffering mysterious seizures at university, she discovers the episodes may be tied to something far stranger than any medical explanation. As she falls for a fellow student, long-suppressed desires and a deeply religious upbringing collide with increasingly terrifying visions and inexplicable phenomena. Director Joachim Trier crafts a chilling portrait of a young woman on the edge of self-discovery — and something much darker. Thelma is a slow-burn European horror that lingers long after the credits roll.
