DOLLY (2026) arrives in UK cinemas on March 6th, delivering a chilling new entry into modern psychological horror. From its disturbing premise to its relentless sense of dread, the film sets out to unsettle audiences rather than comfort them.

At the center of the story is Macy, a young woman whose life is shattered when she is abducted by a monstrous figure driven by a twisted desire to raise her as their own child. What begins as captivity slowly evolves into something far more disturbing, as the line between protection and possession becomes terrifyingly blurred.

DOLLY leans heavily into the horror of control and forced intimacy. The phrase “Mommy knows best” is not played for irony, but as a suffocating mantra that defines the film’s emotional cruelty. The fear comes not only from the captor’s inhuman nature, but from the warped sense of love imposed on Macy.

The atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, with much of the horror drawn from silence, shadow, and psychological pressure rather than constant shocks. The film understands that the most frightening moments are often the quiet ones, where escape feels impossible and identity begins to erode.
