Suburban Tale

Radhika is not having a good weekend. She’s on the verge of losing her crappy job for a shady credit card company, she can’t pay rent, and she has to go home for her sister’s wedding despite being estranged from the family. Once she arrives, it only gets worse. Her family is hiding a young boy possessed by a demon, and they expect her to help keep him secret from their, soon-to-be, very wealthy in-laws. As Radhika loses control of the demonic child and begins to show signs of possession herself, both her family and her past race toward an inevitably violent conclusion.

Directed by Stephen Alexander, Suburban Tale leans on a strong ensemble — Rashmi Somvanshi, Sunita Hooda, Ansh Pandey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2023.
