The Knot

The Knot is a psychological horror that follows a young woman’s journey to reconcile with her own past and ideals. Fighting a breakdown, she realizes she wasted her life striving for the attainment of self realization while never knowing her true self. Confined to the cage that is her studio apartment, she slowly descends into madness, traversing on the pathway of discovery in a quest to be comfortable in her own skin. In an increasingly obsessive effort, she confronts the persistent ghosts that haunt her, to finally face herself alone.

Directed by Rebecca Schwab, The Knot leans on a strong ensemble — Christiane Seidel, Charlie Cox, Hilary Greer — 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 2019.
