There are certain constants in the horror world that you have to expect if you frequent the genre, some of those include jump scares, bloody gore, terrifying dolls, and sometimes creepy children. Dorothy Mills pours a lot of its energy into creating one of the darkest and most uncomfortable depictions of a child in horror media, and it's brought compellingly to life by a charming leading performance from Carice Van Houten, otherwise known as Melisandre.

This tragic and ever-evolving story centres on Houten's Jane Morton, a psychiatrist who travels to a remote Irish island to assess the case of a young girl - Dorothy Mills - who is accused of attempting to kill a baby. The narrative then proceeds to many compelling places, as twist after twist carries it in unexpected directions.

The biggest highlight of the film is the dynamic between Jane and Dorothy, played by Jane Murray. They have this fascinating working relationship that evolves into something far more generous, and as the more supernatural elements appear, this relationship becomes tested.

It's a thoroughly underappreciated hidden gem that is worth your time and shows a far more caring side to The Red Woman.
