Get ready to see Ella Balinska in a whole new kind of fight for survival! The new horror movie, The Occupant, is now available in select theaters and on Digital Platforms, courtesy of Decal. This isn’t your average plane crash survival story; it’s a tense, isolated nightmare with a chilling sci-fi twist that promises to keep you guessing until the very end.
A Desperate Journey, A Mysterious Helper
The film’s thrilling premise centers on Abby (Ella Balinska), a woman so desperate to save her sister that she takes on a dangerous job in the remote Georgian wilderness. Her luck quickly runs out when her helicopter crashes, leaving her stranded and alone in the harsh, frozen, unforgiving mountains. When all hope seems lost, she hears a voice on her radio—a mysterious helper named John, played by Rob Delaney, guiding her from a nearby location.
As John attempts to lead her through the treacherous conditions, Abby struggles to survive, and her grip on reality begins to falter. The desolate landscape and her exhaustion start to play tricks on her mind, leading her to question everything around her. The tension builds relentlessly until she’s faced with an impossible, mind-bending choice that will define her fate.
A Genre-Bending Twist
What starts as a classic survival tale quickly reveals itself to be a genuinely unsettling science fiction thriller. The film, directed by Hugo Keijzer, utilizes its isolated setting to create an atmosphere of paranoia and dread. The audience is right there with Abby, unsure of what is real and what is just a figment of her imagination.
Are you brave enough to take on a survival story where the biggest threat isn’t the wilderness, but what’s in your mind?
