Vivesini

Storyline

Vivesini is a gripping psychological horror about perception, trauma, and sanity. The story revolves around a woman plagued by guilt and hallucinations after a tragic event. As her therapist tries to decode her fragmented mind, the audience is drawn into her terrifying visions. Director Vignesh Karthick crafts a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere with shadow-heavy cinematography and an unreliable narrative structure. Anju Kurian delivers an intense performance that balances vulnerability and madness, while Nassar's portrayal of the psychiatrist adds philosophical gravitas.
