Plot:
An engaged Muslim doctor, her fiancé, and their friends go on a pre-wedding getaway vacation at St. Joseph’s Guesthouse, unaware that centuries before it was the site of witchcraft accusations and the sacrifice of an innocent girl named Mary.
The revellers come to believe that it’s haunted as their emotions and desires spiral out of control…
Reviews:
“Taken as a work that’s on the line between psychological horror and dark drama The Hanged Girl isn’t anything special but it makes for an acceptable watch. If you want ghosts, you may be disappointed, but we know the worst evil comes from the living not the dead.” 3 out of 5, Voices from the Balconyp
