Sissy

On the surface Cecilia seems to have it all a polished social media life, brand deals and a constant stream of perfect moments. Her world shifts when she reconnects with Alex, a childhood friend who returns with an invitation to a spur of the moment bachelorette weekend. The plan seems simple enough a chance to unwind and escape the pressure of online visibility until they drift toward a remote cabin that promises privacy. Once there Cecilia realizes the retreat hides a much older grievance and a person from her past who knows how to press every sore spot. As old wounds reopen the vacation becomes a feverish test of endurance where someone's hunger for revenge may outrun forgiveness.

Directed by Kane Senes from a concept by Hannah Barlow, Sissy blends horror with dark comedy as a claustrophobic character study. Aisha Dee stars as Cecilia, with Emily De Margheriti and Hannah Barlow among the supporting players. The film released in 2022.

Critics note the film's uneasy mix of scares and snappy humor, and its sharp look at online fame and the pressure to perform. The narrative foregrounds female friendship under strain and the way past cruelty still shapes present choices, creating a voyeuristic tension as the cabin becomes a pressure cooker. Dee and Barlow deliver tightly controlled performances that keep the menace personal rather than pulpy, while the script toys with audience expectations about revenge and forgiveness.

The movie has sparked discussion about influencer culture asking how curated personas collide with real life and old grievances. Some viewers see it as a smart satire of online cruelty and a reminder that fame can complicate even the tightest friendships.

Box office figures for Sissy are modest and not widely reported, reflecting its limited release and festival run rather than a wide commercial launch.
