The Voices (2020): A curious film which explores the intersection of mental health problems with horror. Grace has had a traumatic break up with her fiance, on the way to visit her sister Catherine she encounters a mysterious old woman who gives her a crucifix. Catherine who suffers from paranoid-schizophrenia has lived in thee isolated family home since the death of her daughter Abby. Their mother also suffered from schizophrenia and committed suicide when they were young. Catherine still talks to Abby and Grace now starts to see visions and hear voices, Abby appears to her. An Ouija Board and a demon called Penny is also involved. Some shocks and scenes of horror and violence. Grace's dreams are particularly disturbing, not just for her but for viewers. Most of the horror in this film is psychological as you try to differentiate between reality and the imagined. An intriguing plot twist sets the film off in another direction. Directed by Wesley Alley and Bradley Fowler, written by Bradley Fowler. 7/10.
