"When therapy becomes torture, no one leaves sane."
Death Therapy is a twisted psychological thriller that drags the audience deep into the mind’s most dangerous corridors — where trust can kill, and therapy becomes a weapon in disguise.
Dr. Elise Marrow (Rebecca Hall), a pioneering but controversial psychiatrist, has made a name for herself treating violent patients through an experimental method known only as “death therapy” — an immersive psychological simulation designed to force patients to confront their darkest fears by simulating near-death experiences. Controlled trauma. Calculated exposure. Supposed catharsis.
But when her newest patient, a former soldier (Tom Hiddleston) suffering from extreme dissociation and memory blackouts, begins to resist the therapy — strange phenomena start bleeding out of the simulation and into reality. Visions. Murders. Forgotten truths resurfacing. And a growing suspicion: someone is using her own therapy program to manipulate the patients… and maybe even her.
As lines blur between doctor and patient, dream and memory, guilt and identity, Death Therapy becomes a claustrophobic descent into madness — where every breakthrough comes at a cost, and healing may be the deadliest illusion of all.
