Sophie's Turn

About This Movie

So, 'Sophie's Turn' is this eerie little gem from 2017 that taps into that classic coming-of-age horror vibe, you know? The whole premise—Sophie needing to give up a piece of herself to fit in—really sets a dark tone. The atmosphere is pretty thick, with those woods feeling alive and menacing, almost like a character in itself. The pacing has a nice build-up; it lingers just enough to make the tension crawl under your skin. There’s a focus on practical effects that gives it a raw feel, and while the performances might not be Oscar-worthy, they definitely bring that unsettling vibe. It’s distinctive in how it merges the innocence of youth with this sinister force lurking just beyond the trees.
