Movies like The Summoning of Baby Blue

“The Summoning of Baby Blue (2025) is a New Zealand 2020s psychological-horror that stages maternal vengeance through controlled formal means. Three teens must unearth a violent family past to survive a summoned maternal presence, and the film relies on tight framing, high-contrast chiaroscuro, and tableau strategies to externalize dread. The film's formal discipline reframes folklore as procedural inquiry, making its claustrophobic aesthetics essential to the narrative's survival logic.”
