Two young parents slowly discover that their young daughter Thea is a magnet for the supernatural and with the help of an occult expert of great power they have to try and teach Thea to control, rather than be afraid, of the dangerous and dark forces surrounding her. Antonia Thomas (Sunshine on Leith) and Luke Norris are impressive as the caring but increasingly frightened parents in a film that evokes domestic-style horror films of the 1970s. A powerful and scary new British film, written and directed with style by Nirpal Bhogal. (Edinburgh International Film Festival)

FirstBorn wants to pretend that it's mysterious, that it takes an awfully long time to see anything - if we're supposed to see anything at all. However, in the midst of that mysteriousness, it suddenly occurs that there's nothing to actually see, nothing to really excite you, to surprise you, to let you know that there's some deeper meaning to the time spent you’ve spent with it. In the end, however, there is none of that.
