Called “one of the best streaming services in the world” by RogerEbert.com and described by Thrillist as “pretty much everything a horror fan could want,” Shudder is a premium streaming service offering the best selection of horror, thriller and supernatural movies, series and specials.
Invited away on a hen's weekend, Sissy is stuck in a remote cabin with her high school bully...and a taste for revenge. Cecilia (SISSY) and Emma were tween-age BFFs who were going to grow old together and never let anything come between them. That is, until Emma’s new friend Alex did just that. When Cecilia became the target of Alex’s bullying, it forced Cecilia and Emma apart. Twelve years later, Cecilia is a successful influencer living the dream... until she runs into Emma for the first time in over a decade and her world is turned upside down. Darkly comedic and unnervingly savage, SISSY is a satirical look at millennial self-victimisation in the social media age.

Another fun release from Shudder.
"Another fun release from Shudder. Visually it looks good with some nice features. Not my favorite Shudder film, but it was worth it."

Dark Teen Horror
"Stylized, moody, and built around messy relationships with a sharp supernatural edge."
— Chris T. (5/5)
Sissy
"Overly cliche in parts. Good acting from the lead. I suppose the commentary is on chasing fame and likes? Building a life based on what others want? Hide your mental health/psychotic tendencies behind the camera? Not sure, but this movie left a LOT on the table. Some surprisingly nice gore in the last act, which goes a bit crazy train. Stick around if you’re in to that. Aside from main actress, Aisha Dee, not too much else going on here worth much."
— Shawn J. (3/5)

"Enjoyable film"

Sissy
"A sharp, candy‑coloured psychological horror where influencer culture curdles into paranoia, bullying trauma, and blood‑spattered chaos"
— Pierre-Yves L. (5/5)
Social Media Horror
"This film explored depths and insecurities in the social media age. The actress that played the title character was great in this. She conveyed such sweetness and innocence while a storm brewed under the surface. It is something that I would consider a slow burn, though."
— Nathan L. (4/5)
