Sylvia (2018)

Richard tries to replace a lifelong imaginary companion with a flesh-and-blood relationship, but Sylvia refuses the limited role he has assigned her. Daniel Oriahi turns an intimate emotional dependency into a supernatural threat, with Zainab Balogun giving the figure an unsettling claim on his life. It suits viewers who prefer obsession and unstable boundaries to police investigations. The central relationship is destructive, so the romance label does not mean a comforting love story.
