Poster for Full Circle

Most nightmares end at daybreak. This one was just beginning.

Film Synopsis

Full Circle (1977) focuses on a grieving mother who leaves her troubled marriage and moves into an old London house after the death of her young daughter. When strange occurrences and glimpses of a mysterious child begin disturbing her new life, she searches for an explanation and uncovers the story of another girl from the past. This British-Canadian supernatural horror film develops its ghost story through grief and psychological uncertainty, allowing a mother’s search for answers to gradually reveal something more disturbing behind the apparent haunting.
