Synopsis

Teen besties Cecilia and Emma reunite by chance after a decade. Following a wonderful get-together, Cecilia is invited to Emma’s bachelorette party at a remote cabin, only to find out her childhood bully with a taste for revenge is there as well. Sissy is an excellent female-driven horror satire, a biting commentary on life in the social media culture and bullying, as well as the friendship and the toxicity that may accompany along the way. Aisha Dee gives a compelling performance as the tormented Cecilia, while co-director/writer Hannah Barlow plays Emma, a childhood bestie and the center of all troubles. (Jongsuk Thomas NAM)
