In the unsettling psychological thriller Sun Choke, Sarah Hagan delivers a chilling performance as Janie, a young woman recovering from a violent breakdown under the strict, holistic care of her live-in nurse, Irma (Barbara Crampton). Her days are a rigid regimen of meditation, bizarre therapies, and isolation, all designed to restore her fragile mental state. This fragile peace shatters when Janie becomes dangerously fixated on a charismatic stranger (Sara Malakul Lane) she spots in town, an obsession that begins to unravel Irma’s carefully constructed control. As Janie’s compulsions grow darker and her pursuit of this new object of desire intensifies, the line between healing and harming blurs into a terrifying ambiguity. Directed by Ben Cresciman, the film crafts a sun-drenched yet deeply claustrophobic atmosphere, where the pursuit of wellness masks a creeping dread and the past threatens to erupt into the present with violent consequences.
