Void Signal has released the official trailer for The Healing, a horror thriller film from Slovenia, directed by Denis Kryuchkov. The film is in English, having been filmed with English dialogue. It is scheduled for a direct-to-VOD release in October and features a chilling official poster.
In the vein of cult horror classics like Ari Aster‘s Midsommar, Lyuba flees her abusive husband for a mysterious retreat. Surreal rituals and haunting visions reveal dark secrets, pushing her to confront a terrifying choice: escape or succumb to a chilling fate. Alena Mitroshina stars as Lyuba, who attends a retreat with her friends. There, they perform rituals, and she experiences strange visions. She feels uncomfortable and contemplates escape, but fears what awaits her outside will be worse than what she faces inside. The film also stars Wolfgang Czerny, Vyacheslav Chepurchenko, Ekaterina Solomatina, Victoria Skitskaya, Maxim Khanzhov, and Hermes Zygott.
Lyuba is heading for a weekend retreat with her friends, Sveta and Zoya, as a chance to escape her troubled home life. She’s in an abusive marriage with Sergey, who constantly belittles her. Despite feeling uneasy about leaving home, Lyuba is persuaded by Sveta and Zoya to join them. Although they arrive late, the group is warmly welcomed by the retreat’s leader, Danila. Danila leads the participants through unusual rituals, such as dancing to release pent-up aggression. However, Lyuba begins to experience strange visions, which make her uneasy. She becomes intrigued by Danila, who, at one point, buries her up to her head as part of the retreat’s activities. As Lyuba starts to feel more uncomfortable, she contemplates escaping, fearing that what awaits her outside might be even worse than what she faces within.
Denis Kryuchkov, also director of the films Russkiy Reyd and Omut, directed The Healing. The screenplay is written by Olga Loyanich and Robert Orr. The Healing first debuted in Germany earlier in 2025. Void Signal will debut The Healing direct-to-VOD on October 7th, 2025.
