dailyrecord.co.uk:

If you like your horror simple with a masked killer chasing around dumb teenagers then She Will ain’t the film for you. Franco-British director Charlotte Colbert’s debut feature-length outing is slow-burn, not always easy to follow and favours psychological trauma over loud jump scares.Colbert co-penned the script with Kitty Percy - also making her movie bow - and while it seems like a simple tale to begin with, there are many mysteries to uncover.The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.

Krige gives an outstanding performance as Veronica endures recovery from illness and surgery, her very difficult past and the introduction of mystical powers giving her the opportunity to avenge her and her fellow women.

Men don’t come across well here, whether it be Rupert Everett’s ( Tirador ) pompous artist, Jack Greenlees’ won’t take no for an answer Owen or Malcolm McDowell’s ( Hathbourne ) shady, unrepentant filmmaker.
