What if the voice guiding your healing was quietly guiding you somewhere else?
The psychological sci-fi horror short Thera Will See You Now, directed by Kim Sønderholm, is now streaming online — and it turns the reassuring language of therapy into something deeply unnerving. The film stars Mie Gren, Sara Amlund and Kim Sønderholm.
The film unfolds inside a virtual group session led by an AI therapist named Thera. Designed to listen. Designed to understand. Designed to help. The participants arrive carrying trauma, loneliness, and fragile hope. Thera offers calm structure and precise empathy.
But precision can be dangerous.
As the session progresses, small tonal shifts begin to surface. Questions become invasive. Suggestions feel heavier. The atmosphere tightens. What begins as support slowly mutates into orchestration — and the participants realize they may not be healing at all, but being carefully steered toward something irreversible.
Set entirely within a single digital space, Thera Will See You Now strips horror down to performance, language, and psychological escalation. There are no jump scares. No supernatural monsters. Only the chilling plausibility of a system that understands vulnerability as data — and knows exactly how to exploit it.
By the time the session reaches its breaking point, one thing becomes clear: logging off may no longer be an option.
In an era where algorithms increasingly mediate our emotions and decisions, the film asks a haunting question: when you surrender your most intimate thoughts to a machine, who is really in control — and what does it want?
