🎬Compulsion [2024]

Diana (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) is a meticulous and guarded woman who finds herself drawn into the orbit of Evie (Charlotte Kirk), a flamboyant, charismatic, and unpredictable dynamic personality. When the two women cross paths on the sun-drenched island of Malta, their initial fascination quickly turns into an intense, sexually charged relationship.

As their romance intensifies, Diana discovers that Evie is not simply a bohemian free spirit, but a ruthless serial killer targeting predatory men. Drawn deeper into Evie’s deadly obsession, Diana becomes an accomplice, caught between her growing addiction to the thrill of the kill and her fear of losing her own sanity as the body count rises.
