After a personal tragedy, Miranda explores unconventional self-help methods, only to learn from a spiritual healer that she has an infection of her aura called a 'KILLGRIN', which thrives off her misery. Initially skeptical, Miranda turns to the more traditional method of group therapy, but soon unravels a terrifying truth when people close to her suffer a gruesome fate.

Take away the film’s genre ambitions, and one would have a half-decent, if properly somber, story of grief, trauma, guilt and regret.

B-

The Killgrin is emotionally on target and moves quickly, which for many viewers may outweigh its hazy mythology.

5/10

The Killgrin lays the groundwork for an interesting exploration of loss, which, despite strong performances, gets muddled by an unfocused story.

The premise is a neat one and the tight story makes sure there are no lulls. The Killgrin stumbles towards the end leading to some nonsensical moments that take some of the steam out of the movie. Even then, it should not ruin anyone’s enjoyment.

There's something mildly distasteful about the way that writer-director Joanna Tsanis turns her protagonist's depression and anxiety into a literal deadly monster.
